That is a tough one..... right now I would opt for the bg color of the
examples on the user notes to change just to indicate that there is an
example there without a question.
ideally, I would conduct a pole to see what the rest of the php users feel
is worth while but without the pole I would not know what to say. I do know
that coders and programmers keep there source highlighting very close to
them.
do you think it would be possible to create a source highlighter in DHTML? I
think it would.
downs
- would take some work to put together
- would need to be updated frequently
- would slow down the page display, however we could have it format after
the page had been loaded
- may only work with ie5+
ups
- would dramatically decrease the download size.
- users could chose if they wanted source highlighting (to speed page
display)
- becomes more effective as the manual increases in size.
any more ups or downs? do you think it would be worth putting something like
this together?
