DpSyntaxHighlighterPlugin Discussion

Known Issue

NOTE: If you are finding <p /> tags mixed in with the source code when using a textarea, then you will need TWiki 4.2 or above. This is a problem due to Bugs:Item3757, which affects all textareas. You should still be able to use this plugin with pre.

Additional Languages

The highlighting for each language is defined in a fairly simple Brush. To create additional languages, look at the other brushes and create your own. The uncompressed versions of the brushes can be downloaded from the projects home page on Google Code. Please contribute new brushes back to the project, rather then on here.

It would be nice to have a Perl brush, since TWiki is written in Perl

Thanks Andrew for sharing yet another plugin with the TWikiCommunity!

How about measuring and documenting the PluginBenchmarks? See Plugin Info table in NewPluginTemplate.

Bug found. Please see: Item4460

better code like this

sub commonTagsHandler {

    unless (!$doScript)
    {
   my $script = "<script language='javascript'>"  
                   . "dp.SyntaxHighlighter.ClipboardSwf = '$rootDir/Scripts/clipboard.swf';"
              . "dp.SyntaxHighlighter.HighlightAll('code');"  
                   . "</script>";

   $_[0] =~ s|</body>.*?|$script$&|o;
   
    }

    $_[0] =~ s/%CODE{(.*?)}%\n(.*?)%ENDCODE%/&_handleTag/egs;

}

# adds the script at the bottom of the
# page to get it all working
sub afterCommonTagsHandler {

      
}

Thanks Andrey for the bug and the feedback. Unfortunately, I don't have the time at the moment to fix this as I will be moving back to uni and have got other work to do, but will try to come back to this in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, anyone is more than welcome to pick this up, commit the changes to SVN and release a new version.

-- AndrewRJones - 16 Aug 2007

A new version has been uploaded, with the new 1.5.1 version of the dp.SyntaxHighlighter and the bug fix.

-- AndrewRJones - 28 Aug 2007

Is it possible to have parts of the code in bold using this plug-in?

-- JonathanDorling - 22 Nov 2007

It's a brilliant plug-in. I like the fact that it's all client side javascript text highlighting and takes up minimal CPU cycles on the server side.

One remark though, the plug-in syntax parser is a bit fussy. If you add a single space character after the %CODE% it fails to parse it.

-- StephaneLenclud - 04 Mar 2008

Excellent plug-in! The only thing that's really missing is the ability to collapse blocks of code back into a single line (and collapse/expand for subblocks).

-- AntonLokhmotov - 18 Apr 2008

You can use the TwistyPlugin to collapse the whole code block.
