There is a bug. DIC seems to be "enhancing" the text before it reaches the colourising script.

E.g. the difference between [*code]B*)[*/code] and [*code=csharp]B*)[*/code]: without *s of course

When you post things like B) make sure you disable emoticons in your post before posting. It's a checkbox in the post itself. It will keep it from trying to parse the emoticons.

OK. Thank you.

Now can we have some sort of an online compiler that compiles the code as well? . With improvements like this I can see that this will happen as well .

[skyhawk133]

I was actually in talks with a company who provides online compilers, but we could not reach an agreement on a buy out of their software.

I am not too sure it would be that great of advantage to have online compilers. People, new or old, should be able to learn to use a standard compiler on their own computer. They have gotten relatively easy to install and use over the years. I see no "huge" benefit for having online compilers here.

Just my two cents.

Comeau's online 'try it out' C/C++ compiler is great for checking small snippets of code when I haven't got a compiler at hand. I usually turn to it whenever I want to check that MSVC++ is behaving itself too

(Comeau's error messages are sometimes easier to understand too)

lol. There's a lot I need to learn. Upto this point I thought there was no such thing as an online compiler !

They aren't really "online compilers" they are web interfaces to gcc usually.

You know what would be cool? If the highlighting was automatically set based on what forum it was posted in...

if(theforum == "Java") {
     System.out.println("code=java");
}else{
     System.out.println("code="anotherlanguage");
}

System.out.println("cool");

Love it.
Could you add syntax highlighting for Assembly as well?

[bhandari]

its isn't working in </DIC>blogs

Hi Chris / Josh.... After several days of using the new highlighting, I thought I would mention a few problems I have run into. They appear to be fine without the highlighting but with the highlighting it mimics the behavior of code that is not in a code block.

1) Try putting a in double slash comment. It results in the img source being displayed instead.

// See how happens with the winking smilie? ;)/>

2) I also notice that if you put in something like an "r" in parenthesis, which could be the case if you are calling a function and the parameter is called "r", it results in the register symbol ® being displayed which if copied into code might be a problem.

Do we get an ®?

I assume this will also work for a "c" in parenthesis results in ©.

Just a couple of bugs. But the highlighting is great. Still loving it.

Anytime you see smilies in the code, you need to uncheck the "emoticons" or "enable smilies" before you make the post.

[MitkOK]

And what about Ruby in snippet highlight mode ?
