Writing good code follows good coding standards. On top of coding standards, syntax highlighting reveals the code making it easier to read (and learn).
There is a [http://qbnz.com/highlighter/faq.php Generic Syntax Highlighter] or GeSHi for short which is available as a Debian package (sudo apt-get install php-geshi). Adding a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GeSHiCodeTag_Extension GeSHi Mediawiki] extension to allows it to be used in this wiki.
Incorporating it into Mediawiki is just a matter of creating/configuring the extension and including it in LocalSettings.
== Usage ==
There are two code tags that you can use:
# '''Simple Tag Format:''' <nowiki><'language'>source code here</'language'></nowiki>
# '''Advanced Tag Format:''' <nowiki><code ['language'|list] [n] >source code here</code></nowiki>
'''Tag Examples'''
''- simple code tag''
<br>
<nowiki>
<php> echo "Hello World"; </php>
</nowiki>
''- advanced code tag''
<br>
<nowiki>
<code php>
echo "Hello World";
</code>
</nowiki>
''- advanced code tag with line numbers''
<br>
<nowiki>
<code php n>
echo "Hello World";
</code>
</nowiki>
''- default code tag''
<br>
<nowiki>
<code>
echo "Hello World";
</code>
</nowiki>
''- display a list of supported languages''
<br>
<nowiki>
<code list></code>
</nowiki>
== Supported Languages ==
<code list></code>
== Documentation ==
See http://qbnz.com/highlighter/geshi-doc.html for the extensive documentation. GeSHi is used in a number of other software projects like
* Dokuwiki - An advanced wiki engine
* gtk.php.net - Their manual uses GeSHi for syntax highlighting
* WordPress - A powerful blogging system*
* PHP-Fusion - A constantly evovling CMS
* SQL Manager - A Postgres DBAL
* Mambo - A popular open source CMS
* MediaWiki - A leader in Wikis*
* TikiWiki - A megapowerful Wiki/CMS
* TikiPro - Another powerful Wiki based on Tikiwiki
* RWeb - A site-building tool
If you want to use it in OASIS projects besides this wiki, then start with the documentation.
