Wouldn't it be lovely to have great syntax highlighting for LiveCode on
GitHub? So may languages listed and not Livecode? Digging around I found
out that the library GitHub uses is pygments:
- http://pygments.org/#contribute
- http://pygments.org/languages/
and to write a parser you need to grok:
- http://pygments.org/docs/lexerdevelopment/
and the code is hosted here:
- https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main
If we got LiveCode added as a language we'd not only have syntax
highlighting in gitHub but also Trac, and our own code snippets hosted
local our sites. Anyone written one of these things before?
