:: If I write a better one, will Rosetta switch to it? I have absolutely no use for GeShi (and therefore not for any replacement for GeShi, either) except that it's the only system supported in Rosetta. Why would I waste my spare time hacking on this when I can, like, put my spare time programming cycles into something better, like my own project. If we could use some HTML tags, the problem would be solved. Vim does the syntax highlighting perfectly, and can put out HTML that you can cut and paste into a web page or wiki. Say, maybe the HTML put out by Vim can be machine translated into colorized Wikimedia markup [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup#Coloring_text]. This may be the key to a GeShi-free solution, worth looking into.[[Special:Contributions/192.139.122.42|192.139.122.42]] 01:51, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm giving up on defining a syntax coloring scheme for my language, since the official stuff in the GeShi distribution isn't doing the kinds of things that I need to do even a 60% accurate job of it. [[Special:Contributions/192.139.122.42|192.139.122.42]] 23:01, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

: Provide patches upstream and I'm sure to take care of it. Just complaining about the world being stupid doesn't help anyone. --[[User:BenBE|BenBE]] 01:12, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
