Extra syntax highlighting features

[fusion809]

Hi,

I'd like to ask for some extra syntax-highlighting capabilities to be added to this package, namely support for tags such as:

• <charinsert>
• <imagemap>
• <math>
• <nowiki>
• <poem>
• <pre>
• <ref>
• <references>
• <source>
• <syntaxhighlight>

, parser functions ({{#if:}}, {{#expr:}}, {{#tag:}}) and templates. I'd suggest, if you'd like some example specifics on how each syntactic component should be highlighted, that it be borrowed from the highlighting used by wikEd. But any highlighting scheme will make me happy so long as it does not make it difficult to read the wikitext.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Hi Brenton,

Thanks for taking a minute to write. I'll test out what syntax highlighting would look like on my local version and see if I'd like to merge it in to the plugin.

Best,

Courtney

Adding <source> would be great, bonus marks for doing language specific coloring within a source block, e.g.

<source lang=Python>
import antigravity
</source>

I'd like to see more support for generic tags, anything contained in angle brackets should just be treated as a tag.

Also template arguments in triple curly braces should be supported as well.

It would be useful if this offered syntax highlighting for the different headings and basically anything between {{{}}} tags

Pretty much just what CyberSkull said.

Emphasis
''italics''; '''bold'''; '''''bold italics'''''; ''mixed '''bold''' and italics''; ---- horizontal rule.
Headings
= Title 1 =; == Title 2 ==; === Title 3 ===; ==== Title 4 ====; ===== Title 5 =====.
Lists
space and one of: * bullets; 1., a., A., i., I. numbered items; 1.#n start numbering at n; space alone indents.
Links
JoinCapitalizedWords; [[target|linktext]].
Tables
|| cell text |||| cell text spanning 2 columns ||; no trailing white space allowed after tables or titles.

Ill try to figure it out and add some of this if I get the time.

Did you have a chance to add template highlighting for {{ }} meanwhile? This would be an immense help. Anyhow thank you for this awesome package!
