Re: Fwd: Source code syntax highlight support in ovirt.org MediaWiki

Hi guys, sorry for nagging, is there any update/progress regarding https://fedorahosted.org/ovirt/ticket/32 ? Source code syntax highlighting in oVirt wiki would greatly improve readability of many wiki pages.

To me, SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi extension [1] seems to be quite popular (lots of hits on Google and Stackoverflow), has "stable" release status and supports MediaWiki 1.11.+ (ovirt.org currently runs 1.19.2). It also seems to be alive with recent updates [2]. Turns out that Generic Syntax Highlighter (GeSHi) [3] is one of most widely used highlighters out there. Another alternative is GoogleCodePrettify extension [4], newer than SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi but with less features, plus it doesn't seem to be too alive - latest update June 2012 [5]. Other similar extensions I found are either beta or have limited MediaWiki version support (but maybe I have missed something). So I'd personally vote for SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi, but any similar extension would do as well.

I will look at this as soon as I get a chance (definitely sometime in 2013!) Do you know if the GeSHi extension is well audited and popular? Thanks! Dave.
