there is starting problems in a game. you tell me how we modify the code.
I'm not sure if you are asking on the right thing. This is an extension that colors code in posts for readability.
This gave me a good laugh. Thanks.
little tweak needed for the var declaration to support
var t1 = 0,
t2 = 1,
t3 = 2;
There are a couple of problems like that, URLs inside strings (causes highlight as comments), and few other things.
Ultimately this should probably be rewritten to have an actual parser instead of global regular expressions.
is there anyway that I could get this to work on a proboards forum? Would really love to add this to my site!
EDIT: I should note that I can create custom plugins for the site, so is there anyway that I could potentially turn this into a proboards-friendly plugin?
Double Edit: It's also worth mentioning that proboards uses CodeMirrorYou could edit the class names in the source code to point to code boxes specific to your forum and load it as a JS file in the end of the page.
If there's CodeMirror support, you could create a GML highlighter plugin for it based on JS highlighter or C highlighter. It's not too tricky.
probably not too tricky, but I have no idea how to do that :P
Another buck well spent!
Could it be possible to add the same feature as the online help for this, clicking on a function to go to the online help file
Given that forums are on the same domain, should be possible. I'll take a look later.
