It'd be a darn fine thing. I suspect we'll need a fully working parsoid/VE (which actually parse this stuff properly) first ... but users might baulk at 15 sec to syntax-colour a complex wiki page, even if that is a tremendous improvement on the previous 60sec.

You can try using this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Remember_the_dot/Syntax_highlighter

I'm sure this has been asked a number of times before. What is the easiest thing that can be done so that when we click "edit" we see the Mediawiki code highlighted in different colors and various other settings instead of it being plain text? This is not highlighting for a computer language. Its highlighting for the default mediawiki code. For example: [[Hello|My link]] Just an example: 'Hello' can be in red, and the other part can be in green and brackets are bold and so on. Is there an extension that can be installed? This one, is for computer languages, so its not what I'm looking for: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi Dan _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
