Generate multi-color output in script output panel?

[Eddy Vanlerberghe]

Hi,

This is a question regarding scripting in Zaproxy and if this belongs more in the users groups than this group, please let me know?

Anyway, I am trying JS-Beautifier (https://codeberg.org/fennix/zap-scripts) as a script. If you look at the response body panel, there is a colored version of Javascript (and other types?) code. However, the beautified output of the script does not show multiple colors.

Can you suggest a way to provide similar coloring in the script output panel? As far as I know, that output is generated by the script code, so my guess is that that script has to be modified to use multiple colors?

Regards,

Eddy.

Hi,

The output panel uses a plain text area, I think the best would be for
the script itself to create their own output panel that uses a
SyntaxHighlightTextArea (which would do the highlighting for you).

There's a dedicated group just for scripting:
https://groups.google.com/g/zaproxy-scripts/

though if you want to contribute code changes to support this use case
more easily this group is a better one :)

Best regards.
