Syntax Highlighting

[rpSetzer]

Hello! As this is my first post, I think I should introduce myself. My
name is Grigoruta Paul and I'm from Romania. I want to use Docebo as
part of some web development courses I plan to deliver.
One thing I am working on is the Romanian translation.

The other thing I'm interested in is syntax highlighting. As I plan to
use Docebo for web development courses, syntax highlighting is a must
for php, html, css and javascript.

First of all, is there something like this implemented or under
development?

If not, I plan to integrate GeSHi. My idea is like this:
The user inserts the code that should appear highlighted like this:
[code lang="php"]echo "Hello, world!";[/code].
Whenever the code is rendered for display, the code tags are found and
fed to GeSHI for highlighting. Is there a function that "cleans" the
text for display? That would be an ideal point to make the link with
GeSHI. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

HI Paul,
the best place in which you can put the parser, imho, is in the
page_writer, that is a class that cache all the Docebo output and flush
it at the end, so you can add here the GeShi parser

look at this file: doceboCore/lib/lib.pagewriter.php
you can add the parser in this method:

line 153

function getContent() {
$out = '';

if(empty($this->_contentOut) && $this->print_if_empty === false)
return $out;

$out.=implode($this->_startOut);
$out.=implode($this->_contentOut);
$out.=implode($this->_endOut);

$out =fillSiteBaseUrlTag($out);

// add the parser here modifing the $out var

return $out;
}

If you want, take a look to this project :
http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/
it work via js, so you don't need to add a server parser
