  3. Le blog de Bruno Caruso » Comment utiliser la coloration syntaxique sur MediaWiki ? on June 21st, 2009 3:58 pm

    [...] Mon Wiki local comporte plusieurs rubriques dont la majorité des pages sont des tutoriaux et des prises de notes liés à du code informatique (langage Action Script 3, PHP5, HTML, Java, CSS, XML, etc..). Mais malheureusement MediaWiki ne gère pas la coloration syntaxique nécessaire pour se repérer dans des longues séries de code. Pour cela j’utilise l’extension Syntax Highlighter Code Colorizer for Mediawiki. [...]

    Could I overwrite all tags to automatically have syntax highlighting?

  7. Stanley on November 28th, 2009 7:31 pm

    For anyone who had the same question as I, I wrote an extension to look up the category and switch through the possible values then replace the pre tag with the corresponding language.
