How to use Go language support with self serving

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We are serving our own prettify.js and code-pretty.css, and simply appended the 
Go language support to the end of prettify.js.

However, when we use it:

<pre class="prettyprint lang-go linenums">... // go code here ...</pre>

It is not styled and colored. Any ideas?

Do you ever call prettyPrint as described at 
https://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/wiki/GettingStarted#Serving_your_
own_JS_&_CSS ?

Yes, we do call prettyPrint(). Rhe default/built-in languages work and 
highlight (Python/PHP/Javascript) just not the added language Go.

Can you post a standalone HTML example?  Also, what rules do you use in your 
code-pretty.css

Sure, here is a JS fiddle of exactly what I am doing (js and csss): 
http://jsfiddle.net/f9rQ9/

Notice that I simply added the Go language support to the bottom of the 
JavaScript. However, I don't think JSFiddle likes that prettyify.js injects 
html.

Any update on this? Would love to have go pigmenting working.

I added a call to prettyPrint at the end and it seems to work.

Note that the go language handler included at the end only styles comments.

Ahh so go is not fully supported with colored keywords, strings, functions, etc?

It looks like since that was written things have gotten a bit more colorful on 
golang.org.

SInce go has gone with more colors, can we get an updated lang-go.js?

Thanks.

The Go language handler, as defined, works just fine. Here is a live example: https://jsfiddle.net/amroamroamro/empkm4c5/

Now as noted in the previous discussion, it was by design that only comments be highlighted, while everything else is plain text (at least that was the opinion of Rob Pike at the time). Whether it should now add detection for more constructs and keywords is another matter...
