Source highlighting

Post by OrOS »

Unless I'm missing something the current wiki lacks the ability to highlight source code.

If possible, could http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension ... ight_GeSHi be installed?

Yes, we should install that extension. It has support for every OSDev language we cover, I think.

EDIT: wait, we need chase to upgrade MediaWiki, preferably to 1.14 (needs 1.10!)

CHASE LIVES!!!

Thanks for the install, chase! I'll take the liberties of starting to convert snippets to use source tags.

IMPORTANT EDIT: lang="asm" is Intel syntax asm, not GAS! As far as I can tell, there is no AT&T syntax assembly language highlighting in this extension!
EDIT2: No linker script highlighting either :|
