A Syntax Highlighter "highlights" certain areas of text, (usually by coloring them) in order to make it easier to decipher.
Syntax Highlighters are generally used for blocks of code, such as c++, and are found in most IDEs like visual c++. Implementations that are small and fast might be difficult to come by, depending on the language used for the wiki.
Implementations
There arn't too many implementations of SyntaxHighlighting on wikis.
- Wiki:ElreysWikiServer supports CSharp, C, C++ and java.
- WxWikiServer supports jscript, vbscript, visual basic, c, c++, and java.
- [Kwiki] has a VimMode doing highliting just like the Vim editor,
- MoinMoin has a number of highlighter plugins, including one that uses Vim internally,
- any others?
