Add syntax highlighting to code snippets

[frederikhors]

Is there a way to add colorization (read highlighting) to code snippets?

Maybe we can start with nothing but anyone can choose it's own schema for snippets (using cookie for saving preferences).

Please, for newbies like me this is an extreme improvement.

Thanks.

To confirm, you are looking for something like this?

Unfortunately, since gddo does not serve source, only api docs, it relies on the underlying hosting provider for features like snippet highlighting:

• golang.org
  • while not used by gddo, it is the best example of what you want
  • it uses a query parameter to modify the returned html
  • https://golang.org/src/go/ast/ast.go?s=32118:32373#L998
• github
  • repos appear to only allow for anchor links to line numbers
  • https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/blob/master/aws/errors.go#L5
• bitbucket
  • repos appear to only allow for anchor links to line numbers
  • https://bitbucket.org/ww/goautoneg/src/default/autoneg.go?fileviewer=file-view-default#cl-50
• launchpad
  • branches appear to only allow for anchor links to line numbers
  • http://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/tomb/view/head:/tomb.go#L75
• other
  • note that no source links are available
  • https://godoc.org/git.sr.ht/~errnoh/yamlc

If you have more familiarity with the undocumented features of any of these hosting providers, feel free to propose new syntaxes for any currently configured.

gddo does serve some source in the form of documentation (which I believe is what @frederikhors is referring to).

For example;

ok, so @frederikhors is asking about syntax highlighting, which iirc is a dupe of #187; may be better to continue the discussion there.

@arnottcr I think that thread is on a different path. Can we leave this open just for syntax highlighting?
