monkdiscuss radiantmatrix Update 2004-10.Oct-19: Due to many concerns, both public and private, this proposal has been withdrawn. <strike>I've forgotten where, now, but I visited a site last week with some example Perl code listings. The code was highlighted much as it might be in Komodo, Emacs, Vi, &c.. Our <tt><code></tt> tags are used mostly for Perl code, but sometimes for other forms of text. So, if the Monestary added code highlighting support, we'd need to have a way of specifying what counts as "Perl code" and what is just a block of preformatted text (without using the <tt><pre></tt> tags. The two that pop into my head are an attribute: <code> # I've needed to escape slashes in HTML tags... <code type='perl'>print("This is perl code");<\/code> # or <code type='noperl'>This is output, or some non-perl code<\/code> </code> Or a special tag: <code> <pcode>Perl code </pcode> #or <notcode>Not code </notcode> </code> Only one of either pair would need to be implemented: e.g. if <tt><pcode></tt> tags were used, the default <tt><code></tt> tags would be non-perl code. And vice-versa. I am willing to apply my less-than-saintly coding skills to do the work, but I'm curious before I start: is this something the Monestary would like? If so, how should it work? Restrictions, ideas? </strike>
