Hello,
In November 2005, there was a discussion on this list regarding code
blocks. The suggestion was to use:
```(test)
here it is
```
which becomes:
<pre class="test"><code>
here it is
</code></pre>
However, a textile format for this already exists elsewhere (see [1]),
which I think is more appropriate:
bc.(test) here it is
Note the similarity between bc. and bq. I have implemented this (based
on webgen 3.0.4 code, since the SVN server for recent code seems to be
down). I have also added support for syntax-highlighting, with much
code taken from source2html, although the interface is completely
different. There are still a few bugs in the colouring, but I could
resolve them fairly quickly if there was any interest. For my own
part, this is fantastically useful for including prettied codes on my
site with no additional work besides copy/pasting the code and
defining its language.
A few examples, along with the full amended (and somewhat messy)
source code for those who are interested, are available from
http://www.durham.ac.uk/i.w.haslam/Misc/Notebooks/textile_bc.html
Is there interest in this? Would you like me to work this up into
something suitable for inclusion in a future release? Any other
comments on it?
Regards,
Iain Haslam.
