[OSGeo-Discuss] Suggestion for OSGeo wiki : GeSHi plug-in to create snippet repository

[Eduardo Patto Kanegae]

Hi folks,
 
Today I made a setup of GeSHiCodeTag[1] extension for MediaWiki and found this plug-in very usefull.
I suggest this tool withing OSGeo Wiki because it can enable users to contribute including
their own snippets ( mapfiles, shell scripts, other programming language snippets) and 
everything will appear pretty formated ( sintax highlighted) for the user.
 
I saw that OSGeo wiki[2] is running 1.6.3 MediaWiki package , so I can't confirm you that this extension will work without a MediaWiki upgrade . 
At GeSHiCodeTag, MediaWiki 1.6.8 was already tested and my setup was under 1.9.3 mediawiki release.
 
MapServer MapFiles snippets appears nice when rendered using Ruby lexer, despite to write a new GeSHi is not that difficult.
 
See GeSHi[3] site for further information.
