Wieso hat mir eigentlich 3 Jahre niemensch erzählt, dass ich PyCharm so konfiguriert bekomme, dass Jinja2 getemplatetes XML in hübschem syntaxhighlighting hab?!

.... guck ich aber auf die Firmenconfig der IDE wissen die des wohl selbst nicht.

hier halt XML. Im absolut wilden Mix, teilweise inline wechselnd.

Viel Spaß mit Syntaxhighlighting 😂

Thanks Android Weekly for featuring my article last week on some investigative work I was doing related to adding syntax highlighting support on Android, specifically Compose 🙌🏽

The recent syntax highlighting experiment on compose worked really well.

So, I thought why not use the engine to also add support for simpler editor use-case? 🤔

It did work nicely, once engine is initialized, roundtrip to highlight is under 5-15ms

Klar. Mit Syntaxhighlighting, wie Notepad++ auch.

Thanks for featuring my new library that supports syntax highlighting for modern compose apps 🙏

It uses old tech in interesting way that modern AI chat apps use today.

I can get behind this (for quite a while, I didn’t use syntax-highlighting & didn’t miss it; now I do):

Code written in Rust🦀️ fails fast rather than having memory consistency errors. But when it fails, it fails hard, as seen in yesterday's Cloudflare outage.

Is it time for syntax highlighters to highlight panic! and unwrap the same way?

yeah i dont rly do a lot of scripting and it seems nice but my zsh config with syntaxhighlighting and autosuggestions seems...basically drop-in equivalent? esp with nix

HN thread dives into syntax highlighting challenges, specifically for YSH & Vim. Discusses accuracy vs. performance trade-offs, limitations of traditional methods like regex, and explores alternatives like tree-sitter. Complex parsing is key. #SyntaxHighlighting 1/6

Good friends, is there a VS Code extension that offers a mature SQL Syntax Highlighter?

Ideally, something that replicates SSMS/ADS? As VSCode is due to replace ADS as the alternative SQL IDE... this is a QoL must 🥹🫶🏽

Sneak preview:

If you can’t wait, either, to finally use the Custom Highlight API for simpler syntax highlighting, try syntaxp!

It’s similar to Prism and highlight.js but intentionally keeps some things very simple:

I have a non-Mullenweg post about #wordpress: does anyone have a good recommendation for a #SyntaxHighlighting plugin to replace Crayon? This is for our work CMS. But the catch is: has to be a plugin that works with Classic WordPress plugin (i.e. non-Gutemberg UI).
