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.
Thanks,
Vojtech

Hi Dave,
Do you know if the GeSHi extension is well audited and popular?
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.
Thanks,
Vojtech

Thanks Vojtech! I will look at this as soon as I get a chance
(definitely sometime in 2013!)

Hi guys,
it would be great if MediaWiki that powers ovirt.org supported source code syntax
highlighting. This would improve readability of wiki pages that include source code
snippets in various languages or formats.
I've created a Trac ticket for this: https://fedorahosted.org/ovirt/ticket/32
Thanks!
