Some years later… we have our very own SQFHighlighter :-) - Lou Montana (talk) 22:24, 9 July 2023 (CEST)

just learned about <syntaxhighlight> and geSHi Extension: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi

i'd like to start working on a SQF highlight for use in the wiki, something lightweight and simple, personally i think the notepad++ syntax highlight for a3 is very clean, with minimal color use - comments, command names, strings...i'm not familiar with geshi, but it doesnt seem too hard to get a basic style formed....

one issue i'd read about, and noticed so far, is that bracketed wiki links don't work, so this would remove any links to commands within code...not something im thrilled about - perhaps theres a way to preprocess the url before the highligher handles it, or maybe geshi allows for inserting or ignoring the appropriate code tags

geshi xml lang

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Project name="Any Name">
	<Package name="Mission One">
		<Container name="Some Words">
			<Key ID="str_myTag_Yes">
				<Original>yes</Original>
			</Key>

			<Key ID="str_myTag_structured">
				<Original>Some text &amp;lt;t color='%1'&amp;gt;%2&amp;lt;/t&amp;gt;</Original>
			</Key>
		</Container>
	</Package>
</Project>

based off submission on mediaWiki: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi

some Template ideas (using language 'c'):

Good Practice:

//str_myTag_teamKillers:	<English>&amp;lt;t color='#dd1111'&amp;gt;Team Killing is NOT Tolerated&amp;lt;/t&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ br&amp;gt; and will result in a Permanent Ban!</English>

// Server
if ( [[isServer]] ) then {
	["str_myTag_teamKillers","TAG_fnc_localHint"] [[call]] [[BIS_fnc_MP]];
};

Bad Practice:

//str_myTag_teamKillers:	<English>&amp;lt;t color='#dd1111'&amp;gt;Team Killing is NOT Tolerated&amp;lt;/t&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ br&amp;gt; and will result in a Permanent Ban!</English>

// Server
if ( [[isServer]] ) then {
	["str_myTag_teamKillers","TAG_fnc_localHint"] [[call]] [[BIS_fnc_MP]];
};

I think i prefer this:

	["str_myTag_teamKillers","TAG_fnc_localHint"] [[call]] [[BIS_fnc_MP]];
};

Best Practice:

// some code
doThings;

Maybe an explanation why, or a reference

// or more code

Catastrophically Stupid:

stupidCode;

-String tables are used to make internationalization easier for the game. They are used in addons, missions, and scripts, and are located in the root of the mission or addon folders.
-Any strings that are used in the game can be kept separate from the code, and can therefore easily be edited and expanded into different languages. Instead of using strings directly in the code, you are using a variable. This variable will then contain the actual string, read from stringtable.xml, with the language that's being read depending on the game settings.

+I think i prefer this:
-*Replace ''myTag'' in str_myTag_someKey with your OFPEC tag or other means of personal identification so other addon and mission string names won't collide, potentially breaking your mission
-*Package and container names appear to only be for organizational use; use them for your own sanity
-{{Important|Stringtable.xml must be saved with UTF-8 Encoding for international characters to display and save correctly}}

-A string from stringtable.xml can be retrieved and used in a script by using the [[localize]] command:
-<code>[[hint]] ( [[localize]] "str_myTag_Yes" );</code>

-The stringtable can also hold [[Structured Text]] xml tags, if the tag characters < > are encoded as {{Inline_code| &amp;lt; < }} and {{Inline_code| &amp;gt; > }}  [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp see: HTML Entities]

-====Description.ext====
+Maybe an explanation why, or a reference
-Stringtable values can be used in the [[Description.ext]] config by typing the key as such, {{Inline_code| $STR_myTag_keyName }}, and without quotation marks; these will be replaced by the preprocessor:
+<syntaxhighlight lang="c">// or more code</syntaxhighlight>

-<code>onLoadName = $STR_myTag_missionName;
-onLoadMission = $STR_myTag_loadMissionText;
-overviewText = $STR_myTag_overviewText;

-loadScreen = "intro.paa";
-author="me";</code>
-====Dialogs & Configs====
+<div dir="ltr" class="" style="border: none; background: #ffdada;">
-As with Description.ext, the preprocessor will replace the values in configs as long as the key name is formatted correctly (see above) :
