Hey y'all, I'd like to make a proposal for the cboard.

Let me prefix this by saying that PHP code colouring looks terrible for C/C++, and C/C++ code should not be posted in PHP tags.


I think we should add a board feature, a paramater for code tags which uses something like this to colour code. Syntax highlighting is standard in editors and we're all used to seeing it. Having looked at recent posts by dwks, it's clear to me that this would make it easier to read posted code, and consequently help others.

I propose something like:
[code highlight="off"] [/code]

That way people who really don't want to use it don't have to. It should default to "on" so that omitting the highlight parameter defaults to highlighted code.


As a second suggestion, all ad revenue generated from pages with highlighted code should have royalties to dwks, and a modest 87% of that to me as a finders fee
