GeSHi plugin

[Jeff]

I've written a plugin for GeSHi for newlisp for those who use it to colorize code on their websites. It colorizes code using the same colors as the newlisp colorizer cgi and adds links to documentation for functions.

I spent some time persuading the Geshi project guys to include a newLISP file as part of the basic install. The file is basically a merge of the two files I had from Lutz and Jeff, with corrections supplied by Benny at Geshi. Existing Geshi users should probably carry on using their own versions, but at least it will be in subsequent revisions by default.



And let it be noted here that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_on_the_shoulders_of_giants">I didn't actually do any original work myself ... :)

Thanks. That will make my life easier every time the wordpress geshi plugin gets an update :)

I believe it has something to do with the peculiar olfactory quality of British men's circulatory system's liquid state hemoglobin transport fluid ;)

Where can I find the merged version? I was looking on various GeSHI places but couldn't find anything.

Currently I believe it's in the development trunk (whatever that means):



http://geshi.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geshi/trunk/geshi-1.0.X/src/geshi/newlisp.php?revision=2189&view=markup">//http://geshi.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geshi/trunk/geshi-1.0.X/src/geshi/newlisp.php?revision=2189&view=markup



and the sample code I pointed them to is

All this scm stuff is too much for me to understand.



BTW: most of the edits I made were to make the file conformant, cos Benny told me it failed the entrance test...

     for indentation)!

so those were fixed Lutz's and Jeff's work were merged. Perhaps further changes could be done in the right open source way...

from the PHP newLISP GeSHI syntax file:

Code Select Expand

'COMMENT_MULTI' => array('[text]' => '[/text]', '{' => '}'), // also used for strings


probably this should go into the QUOTEMARKS section instead of COMMENT_MULTI. Or perhaps there is a QUOTEMARKS_MULTI ?. Perhaps Bebe can help? Anyways, the way its done now, it works, when colors are chosen right.
