D syntax highlighting for code snippets #12

Closed wilzbach closed 8 years ago

wilzbach commented 8 years ago

Afaik highlightjs, and prism support D via plug-ins. There is probably no need to load a full-blown editor for code snippets?

It's not a full-blown editor. It's a plugin with several options, several themes, easy to configure, easy to use in the post editor and, more importantly, has no external dependencies. I use it on one of my other posts and love it. Iv'e got all of the fancy options turned off, but I love the line numbers.

Are you sure? Afaict it's uses the ACE editor:

I don't know anything about WP, but is there an easy way to at least turn syntax highlighting for D on?

Well, that must be what they're using for integration with the admin interface. It's really easy to use there. I didn't realize they were using it for display, too. But it works. Must be why there are no external dependencies.

The only way to syntax highlight any code is with a plugin.

That sucks :/ @JackStouffer I have never used WordPress before. Is there a way around loading 340kB of JS on the frontend pages? It seems a bit wasted if no code (on most pages) or only highlighting is needed. Also e.g. Highlight.js which does support D syntax only has 10% of the size.

I don't intend to drop the plugin. I'm quite happy with it, so I'm going to close this. If the file size becomes a problem, then I'll reconsider.
