== Syntax Highlighting in Quanta ==

Quanta has syntax defintion files which are called 'DTEP' files.

== Syntax Highlighting in MediaWiki ==

(Note that there is also a [[MediaWiki/Syntax highlighting]] article)Writing good code, especially in open source context, requires illustrating best practices and tutorials. Those tutorials are made ever more useful with syntax-highlighting.

MediaWiki is able to incorporate a nice 3rd-party project called [http://qbnz.com/highlighter/faq.php Generic Syntax Highlighter] or GeSHi for short. Fortunately GeSHi is now packaged with debian for easy installation on Debian or Debian-based systems. There is a [[mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi]] extension which provides a tie-in between MediaWiki and GeSHi. (note that there are a few different GeSHi extensions for mediawiki, and we use the one in use on mediawiki.org http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version).

=== Usage ===
