Re: NRG Code Repository
 

I think having a light color on a light background is bad though. I've had numerous accounts of adding a double '{' thinking I didn't have the first one in, because of the very small contrast in colors.

But thanks for the list of the color/values. For attatchments, there's a button called "Manage Attatchments". Click that, and that'll let you upload stuff :D

My decision:

I'll go with everything in the post quoted above.

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

Want to see the current source of the highlighter?

Go here: http://nrg.chaosnet.org/source/repository/download.php

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

That's really cool. Thanks for showing the source for it. Did you use any PHP functions for showing the code? (I know there's highlight_code(...) & show_source(...)....don't quite understand how they work though)

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

I use a buffer to hold all the source so that I can format it into a table with line numbers. You're right, I use show_source and highlight_file (not _code)

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

Cool. Sorry about that, I forgot weither it was highlight_file or highlight_code

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

Our job now:

To get people to add code to the repository.

And, can this thread be made sticky?

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

Syntax hilighting is not quite so simple. There are special cases you have to account for, that make the code somewhat more complex. For example, if I make a comment that says:
I wouldn't expect 'if' to be highlighted another color, nor would I expect the text in quotation marks to be highlighted another color. Also, you have to watch out for "This string keeps on \" going \", even though I just had two quotation marks, I'm still not finished." There are many other conditions you have to watch out for, too. Sure, not all these cases might come up, ... and really, someone can just copy the coad into their favorite C editor anyway, ... but I'd look for an already done solution (why reinvent the wheel? unless, of course, this is for your edification, in which case you might want to think about more of the special cases yourself).

For an example of some conditions you didn't catch, look at the PID code. EDIT: especially, looking over it again, in the Trig lookup table, the "extra" highlighted parts of the comment can get annoying, and potentially mess someone up.

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

The reason I did not use an already made module is because I don't have permissions on the chaosnet server (our host) to install stuff. Since people can see the "special cases" in their own editor (like you said), I'm not gonna spend much more time working on the highlighter. If anyone wants to, they can post it in "Website (Perl/PHP)" folder.

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

btw, SilverStar, do you have AIM (preferably) or MSN?

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

pm, then? or just message me - deltacoder on AIM, mobile@vectorray.com on MSN

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

just post stuff here, i'll read it.

Re: NRG Code Repository
 

Working on comments system, should be simple.

File update system - you can always edit your code. But I'll work on an version managemtent system (will take time).
