Re: [Mediawiki-l] SyntaxHighlight for GeSHi 1.1.2alpha?

As I remember there are a number of issues with the GeSHi alpha that make it incompatible with the extension, and also serve as a downside for it's use: * GeSHi alpha has undergone a code style change to meet pear standards (camelCase vs. underscore_separated) and so every function call the extension makes for old geshi is invalid for new GeSHi. * GeSHi alpha is missing a number of features, including line numbering last time I checked. I believe the techniques used to set these are also different. So any use of these features will cause issues. * GeSHi alpha, while working beautifully for PHP and a few other languages, is missing most of the languages that the old GeSHi supports. I actually had an old project you might be interested in. I called it MultiHighlight_GeSHi, and the goal back then was to perfect it as a replacement for SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi. Basically I had support for running both GeSHi engines. Because of course they use the same classname you had a number of options on how to make this work: A) Default: Only one engine can be used at a time. This means that you can use old GeSHi, or new GeSHi in a page. But you'll have an error if you try to use both. B) Rename: You can rename the class of either the old geshi or the alpha geshi. Meaning perhaps you could make new geshi use a Geshi2 class so it doesn't conflict. C) Runkit: You need PHP's Runkit installed (which isn't as easy on my Ubuntu machine I find as it is on Windows with XAMPP) but the extension can make use of the Runkit_Sandbox to sandbox two individual GeSHi instances meaning they can both run completely separated without needing to edit either. Now that I think about it a bit more. I could probably also offer a D) option, exec. Basically I could have a short php script that loads GeSHi with a number of options then prints the output from it. That should mean that you can run both types of GeSHi without even loading them. ^_^ Don't you wish PHP 5.3 and it's Namespace's was out already so we could just add namespace headers to GeSHi? heh... If you're interested in it, I can commit the current code (incomplete) into my SVN repo. It was an old project, so I believe I never committed it. Though I should still have the old code. ~Daniel Friesen(Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) of: -The Nadir-Point Group (http://nadir-point.com) --It's Wiki-Tools subgroup (http://wiki-tools.com) --The ElectronicMe project (http://electronic-me.org) --Games-G.P.S.
