Relationship Between Rosetta Code and GeSHi

Rosetta Code first started using GeSHi for syntax highlighting a long while back, but due to our nature, we quickly discovered, and frequently continue to discover, programming languages which GeSHi does not provide highlighting functionality. Additionally, we've uncovered bugs in various releases of the software, and the GeSHi folks have been welcoming of fixes sent to them.

Due to the way language support is managed in GeSHi, it's fairly trivial for someone who can follow PHP syntax to create a PHP file that adds support for the language of their choice. GeSHi's support for Oberon-2, Modula-3 and AutoHotKey is the direct result of contributions by MBishop and Tinku99. (If you like a language, and it doesn't appear to have syntax highlighting support, I strongly suggest you follow their lead. ;-) )

I am now also part of the GeSHi project focusing for now on adding and improving support for programming languages present on Rosetta Code. As a community of language aficionados and enthusiasts, Rosetta Code is a hotbed for opportunities for improving GeSHi, and improvement of GeSHi is extremely helpful for improving the readability code on Rosetta Code. --Short Circuit 06:43, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
