Jan 23, 2012 at 19:53 comment added voretaq7 @ShaneMadden Most of this would of course be moot if people INDENTED THEIR {CODE, CONFIG FILES} :-)
Jan 23, 2012 at 19:49 comment added Shane Madden @voretaq7 Indeed - and non-insane coloring for some of the common config file types we see would be a nice wishlist item.
Jan 23, 2012 at 19:42 comment added voretaq7 @ShaneMadden also acceptable. I'd like stuff like shell scripts to get auto-highlighted, but if it's a choice between "On by default and has to be turned off" or "off by default and has to be turned on" I'd prefer off by default.
Jan 23, 2012 at 19:40 comment added Shane Madden @voretaq7 Or if it's off by default and needs to be manually turned on with the html comment?
Jan 23, 2012 at 16:52 comment added voretaq7 @Zoredache disgusting, but acceptable. I have no objection to syntax highlighting as long as we can make it stop if it's screwing up :)
Jan 23, 2012 at 16:41 comment added Zoredache @voretaq7, see stackoverflow.com/editing-help#syntax-highlighting. The answer seems to be <!-- language: lang-none -->.
Jan 23, 2012 at 15:58 comment added voretaq7 @MarkHenderson (or anyone else who has used the highlighting features on other sites) -- Is there an equivalent <!-- stop highlighting my file you're doing it wrong! --> tag?
Jan 23, 2012 at 14:16 comment added Chris S @MarkHenderson Totally agree, I'm only voting yes to get that option, do not want automatic anything. =]
Jan 23, 2012 at 7:55 comment added Bart De Vos Vote Yes. We will get to the tags-thing later ;). Almost all languages are in the prettifier. Powershell = C#, rest of them are there.
Jan 23, 2012 at 7:52 comment added Mark Henderson Mod btw, if I want code highlighting, but only if it's explicit turned on (with the <!-- --> syntax), should I add a 3rd option, or vote for "yes"?

Jan 23, 2012 at 7:50 comment added Mark Henderson Mod Does the prettifier support the languages we would expect to see here? Such as powershell/bash/cmd/vbscript?
