Syntax color highlighting

[michiel]

Requested by Ferry Boender.

Perhaps this is already possible in MvBlog, but one feature needed by a lot of the more technical blogs is source code syntax color highlighting for various programming languages.

It's not possible yet. PEAR package: http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Highlighter or look at GESHI (see also mvpastebin project)

This should be handled by a plugin probably. This is a personal show-stopper for me. I can't have a blog without syntax color highlighting. But I'm leaving the milestone at 3.0 anyway. If I find the time to implement this sooner as a plugin, I will.

Michiel, why isn't this possible yet? I fail to forsee any real problems implementing this. Basically, it's a search and replace plugin with a hook to text_output. Authors could do something like:

[code:php
<?php
echo 'hello!';
?>
:code]

Or something.

It is possible to implement.

It's not possible to syntax highlight posts right now ;-)

(In [610]) allow syntax highlighting in posts. See COLOR_HIGHLIGHT.txt in the root to see how it's done.
