Well, I'm just thinking, we have it for Jass and PHP. But PHP tag isn't used a whole lot (I find). One that would be used much more is C++. I mean look at the programming forum. Ever second post is about C++ (or C#, but I mean they have nearly the same syntax, so I don't think it would matter).

[cpp]
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "I'm sad that this isn't real" << endl;
return 0;
}
[/cpp]

So is it possible to see some nice CPP tags in the future?

I believe phyrex modded GeSHi to be faster (yeah, phyrex can do everything, lol) for the Jass highlighting, so why not modify it to also support other languages?

Syntax = no; keywords = yes :)

EDIT: Actually, since I also made a syntax highlighter, I have a list of C++ keywords, I guess I could contribute:

Correct, PHP syntax hilighting comes with PHP in the form of the highlight_string()

If we wanted to support other language syntaxes, we'd need to mod the forums and use a syntax hilighter like GeSHi
Click to expand...

My experience with GeSHi is that it's slow, and that it consumes a lot of power from the server. Try client side syntax highlighters, where if a syntax is relevant to the user, he could click a button in the header of the code and that it converts the text to a syntax. This is the best way to do this, in my opinion.

Or upgrade vBulletin locally, where there are 2 contents of each post. The converted one (full HTML code), and the editable (bb tags) one.

This is my experience too. We used to use GeSHi for the jass tags, but switched to a hand made solution for performance reasons.

>I believe phyrex modded GeSHi to be faster (yeah, phyrex can do everything, lol) for the Jass highlighting
I "only" managed to make it 3 times faster or so (for the jass tags, probably broke a lot of other languages in the process) and that wasn't enough.

GeSHi is still installed on the server so using it for other languages is possible. The likeliness of me adding is proportional to the activity of the programming forum *hint*. Or bribe Ghan, I hear he has very flexible payment alternatives. :p

I think the problem is that we don't know if it's worth adding the C++ highlighter, rather than we don't know how to add it, or what to add.

vBulletin already has a parsed post cache, although I am not aware if it is enabled currently or not. (If it isn't it should be)

Why not just add something generic that only highlights certain things;

{}, if, while, do, for, strings, floats, integers

That should give at least some highlighting for most languages and is easy to implement.

You could even just make a ripoff of your Jass tags to support that.

Because honestly, this is not a programming heavy forum (aside from Jass).

That's not really true. There are quite a few C++ threads in the programming forum.

This.

For the amount of work that it would take to add the new tags, it would not be worth it, because of the lack of C++ threads.

But not having C++ syntax highlighting could just aswell be one of the things blocking TH from being more for the programming guys.

I highly doubt it. TheHelper is always going to be the place for blizzard game support.

The programming forum only has like what? 300 posts?

I'm working on a game and planning to paste the source code in the programming forum (It's pretty small). Syntax Highlighting would be nice.

Here's what we can predict for the C++ Syntax Highlighting feature.

When Starcraft 2 is out, we will be seeing many threads with the Galaxy language. Since Galaxy is based on C, it is possible (if not, certainly) C/C++ syntax highlighting will be added as a new feature corresponding to the release of the game itself.

For now, I can be sure that it won't be implemented until the end of this year.

Jass was 'based' on C, too ;)

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
