Syntax Highlighting (is it possible?)

[Xorcist]

Testing...

[pascal]
TestVar := 1;
[/pascal]

Hmmm, that should have been:

TestVar := 1;

it seems that have gotten rid of everything before the first number.

[pascal]
TestVar1 := 1;
TestVar2 := 2;
[/pascal]

Yeah looks like everything before the first number, that should have been:

TestVar1 := 1;
TestVar2 := 2;

Let's try this:
[pascal]
var
TestVar1 := 1;
TestVar2 := 2;
[/pascal]

Hmmm, if you could post a link to the file you're using maybe I can help in someway. Two heads are better than one.

Yeah that DarkEQ style is kinda ugly (no offense). As for the font, can't you just use:

<font face="Arial, Courier New, Time New Roman" color="#xxxxxx">Text goes here</font>

to specify the order in which fonts should be used if they are available? I'm pretty sure this would first use Arial, then Courier New, then Times New Roman then default to whatever the HTML page is set to use (given the availability of each).

No, no effect. I'm using the <span> tag now and it works fine.

There are a few 'bugs' but we're getting there :twisted:

Yeah, I just noticed. I was running a couple "beta tests", the post above the last one has what I found.

P.S. Once it is up and running, we might want to have a vote on the syntax colors (and background, that blue makes my head hurt).

Those tests you did look OK to me, except that the 1 in TestVar1 shouldn't really be highlighted. The file with all the stuff is here. It's not the actual file, it's a copy with a .txt extension.

[Xorcist]

Hmm... that's weird, everything looks fine now, but it was messed up before, maybe it was just my machine.

[BlueCat]

I've fixed the 'number thing', it's still acting a bit weird but I haven't enough time to work on it all day It's highlighting reserved words, numbers, strings and comments, are there any others I need to add?

Couldn't you get it to format it like Delphi does, rather than just highlighting things in different colours. Something like this:

[Dammit I give up - basically, I meant use the same font as Delphi (Courier New) and put keywords in bold.]

It seems to work fine! good job
So when you have spare time you could put it on subSilver too.. It shouldn't be difficoult once you've done for darkeq..

PS once you've completed it you could post the hack to http://www.phpbbhacks.com/ to share it if others need..

Here's some test, just to look how it looks..
[pascal]
function parola(s:string):boolean;
var i:integer;
begin
for i:=0 to form1.listbox1.items.count-1 do
if lowercase(form1.listbox1.items[i])=lowercase(s) then
begin
result:=true;
exit;
end;
result:=false;
end;
[/pascal]

(added)
Umm it seems like he don't hilight internal begin/end blocks..
let's see:
[pascal]
begin
begin
begin
if a=b then
begin
begin
end;
end;
end;
end;
end;[/pascal]

There is a little problem here

Thanks, how's that?

I'd messed up the search string, whitespace is a strange thing ops:

It works now! Well done!
