This wish is open |
Description
time this may take to implement: no idea
would this be useful to everyone: yes, so it would be good to have it by default
how important is this for me: very important
detailed description:
Syntax highlighting would make the edition of pages faster and easier for every user! (And especially those who make a lot of tables). So what exactly does syntax highlighting look like?
See an example:
[[code type="wiki"]]
[[div class="simple-box" style="text-align: justify; color: brown;"]]
+ Fruit Bowl!
[[module ListPages category="fruit" perPage="10" separate="false"]]
# %%title_linked%%
[[/module]]
Go [http://www.google.com to Google] or go [[[home |back home]]]
[[/div]]
[[/code]]
could render this:
[[div class="simple-box" style="text-align: justify; color: brown;"]]
+ Fruit Bowl!
[[module ListPages category="fruit" perPage="10" separate="false"]]
# %%title_linked%%
[[/module]]
Go [http://www.google.com to Google] or go [[[home |back home]]]
[[/div]]
It would be great to have this available both in the online Wikidot editor and as a plug-in to some standalone (offline) editor. (More on the latter here: http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-60321/a-standalone-editor-for-the-wikidot-syntax). It would also be great to have the wiki format rendered this way when you click on the "view-source" button of a page.

That image depicts HTML highlighting…
Is this wish supposed to depict what I discussed in my wish?

Absolutely. I just used an image with html highlighting because it was already available and I was lazy to make an example with wiki syntax. :) I kind of "merged" my post with yours. You can bring corrections in it if you need and then link your post to this one so as to avoid duplicate posts, if you like.
