feature request - code formatting #43

Closed glinkot closed 5 months ago

glinkot commented 5 months ago

Would be nice to have two features on code (see screenshot from heyGPT, which has been abandoned but has been my go-to until I found pyGPT):

Code highlighting
The convenience feature where the code appears in a code box, with a 'copy' button at the top.

I notice this project which could help with the syntax highlighting:

Copy to clipboard button added in 2.1.45. Thanks!

Code highlighting coming soon.

glinkot commented 5 months ago

Another notable thing - the one I use applies the code highlighting in real time as the text comes through, rather than just once at the end. That's really useful as you watch it spool out.

I downloaded 2.1.46 that mentioned improved code formatting, but I didn't notice differences yet. Thanks so much for looking into it though!

Syntax highlighting added in 2.1.59:

2.1.59 (2024-04-20)

Added output renderer: WebEngine/Chromium – with full HTML/CSS/JS support. (Experimental)
Added a new option to choose a render engine in Settings -> General -> Rendering engine to select between WebEngine / Chromium mode and the Legacy mode (old, with simple markdown CSS support only - for compatibility reasons and troubleshooting).
Added syntax highlighting to code blocks – issue #43.
Added a new option in Settings -> Layout -> Code syntax highlight to select a highlight theme.
Added a new option in Settings -> Context -> Convert lists to paragraphs to enable/disable converting ul and li into p for better copying.
Copy to clipboard and regenerate response icons are now visible by default.

This is awesome! Do you think it runs quickly enough that we could apply the highlight after each word or few words as it streams out of the API, rather than once at the end?

Also it would be good to put any unrecognised syntaxes into a monospaced code box rather than leaving the backticks (example of each shown)

Thanks ;) And yes, real-time formatting in stream mode has just been added in version 2.1.61 (it also works for syntax highlighting).

2.1.61 (2024-04-21)

Added real-time HTML formatting of text chunks in stream mode.

Also added default syntax highlighting if no language is provided:

2.1.62 (2024-04-22)

Added default lexer for code syntax highlighting if no language provided.
