Line 2:
I tried adding syntax coloring to Ada programs. The results were very disappointing. Some of the reserved words were highlighted. Some were not. All indentation was lost. Am I required to put the highlighting tags around each line individually, or should I be able to apply syntax highlighting to a whole block of text? -- Waldorf
:Yeah, I'm not particularly impressed with the highlighter. It seems to give inconsistent results...It definitely needs work. You can put the <nowikie><highightSyntax></nowiki> tags around blocks of text. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 07:13, 21 February 2007 (EST)

:The syntax highlighter needs a ''lot'' of work. I'm going to have to contact the author of the MediaWiki extension and the PHP beautifier package, to see if either of them know what can be done. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 08:12, 21 February 2007 (EST)
