== Assembly Languages ==
Let's hope this is an appropriate spot for this. The page seems dead...
The assembly languages are a mess. Besides the other issues, the lang tags, well, there's only one: '''asm'''. And it's for x86. Two ideas for cleaning it up:<ol>
<li> merge all known instructions into asm (so that asm becomes the only assembly lang tag). This might be a bureaucratic nightmare but it's bound to be done quickly and quietly.
<li> have some sort of 'inheritance' in GeSHi files (is this possible?) so that asm will define:
* common instructions that most/all assembly languages recognise (such as MOV)
* common pseudo-instructions that most assemblers recognise (such as EQU, SET, macro)
* colour definitions for instructions, comments, numbers, etc.
asm would then be extended with additional instructions by each different assembly language. There should be a standard format for them, such as asm_MIPS, asm_ARM, etc. Unrecongised lang tags should default to asm if their specific tag doesn't exist (if that's also possible).
</ol>
