Ideas for improving Solidity syntax highlighting?

[frangio]

I’ve been invited as a maintainer to https://github.com/highlightjs/highlightjs-solidity. This is the plugin that we use for syntax highlighting Solidity code.

Have any of you noticed anything that could to be improved?

haltman-at did a number of fixes previously.

I haven’t noticed anything obvious.

As an aside, we use highlightjs-solidity via a custom theme-component.

Discourse Solidity syntax highlighting

I have installed the custom theme-component and enabled on the Light and Dark Theme. We now have Solidity syntax highlighting. pragma solidity ^0.5.0; import "openzeppelin-solidity/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721Full.sol"; import "openzeppelin-solidity/contracts/drafts/Counters.sol"; contract GameItem is ERC721Full { using Counters for Counters.Counter; Counters.Counter private _tokenIds; constructor() ERC721Full("GameItem", "ITM") public { } function awardItem(address …

@frangio we may want to fork the custom theme-component repo https://github.com/pmusaraj/discourse-highlight.js-solidity so that we can update when required.

Ideally there would be an easy way of highlightjs picking up additional languages such as highlightjs/highlightjs-solidity. When I asked about adding solidity to highlightjs I was advised that new languages were going in new repos but there didn’t appear to be a way to get these languages picked up.
