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" ?>

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:

// Server
if ( [[isServer]] ) then {
	["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;
