Syntax Highlighting?

I wonder how did you guys add the "wxwidgets" syntax highlighting to the code tags...
Is it some sort of mod for phpBB or a template?

Thanks

It is something UpCase fixed. He reworked the geshi mod (general code highlighting) to also incorporate wxWidgets links and special object recognition). So out code tag always shows "wxWidgets" now

we (i?) can technically have makefile highliting, but no one uses it, or .rc file highlisghting, but i dont think many people use it... so we just settled for C++ syntax

Hi!
Although is not the right forum for that kind of question, I'll give two hints:
1. The docs for 2.9.0 have a wxStyledTextCtrl listed, it's a Scintilla based control.
2. For older releases, check wxCode and search for STC or Scintilla.

Hi upCase,

Wonder if it's possible to "backport" this wxWidgets highlighting feature to GeSHi, since I just saw GeSHi supports "C++ (with QT)"...A little "envy"...

Regards,

Hi!
I don't know if I understand this "backport" correctly. In fact the highlighting here uses geshi as a phpbb addon

Hi~

"uses geshi as a phpbb addon" still isn't quite clear to me...I guess you must have modified geshi's code to support wxWidgets class names, didn't you? so I was wondering if it's possible to add wxWidgets highlighting feature back to geshi based on your modification, so that geshi itself will be able to support wxWidgets highlighting directly while it already supports Qt highlighting...

Just a free imagination...

Aaah, ok

Sometimes my mind is a bit slow these days...

Yes, but I didn't really modify the code, but added a new language definition file. I'm not sure whether this is compatible with newer versions, but in theory this would be possible to do.
