Re: Need for a syntax-highlighter

It's been mentioned on pear-doc lately that being able to highlight html, xml, sql etc. in a similar form would be nice. However, for that to happen we need a highlighter that provides similar output than the php-syntax-highlighting. Having a short look at the repository I didn't yet find a package to do this for us. So has anybody maybe already experimented with writing a highlighter for these files? Maybe a general package for source-highlighting (HTML_Highlighter or similar) would be nice. Please have a look who could donate some lines :-))

I don't have any highlighting scripts, but I'm happy to volunteer to write a driver for this package if you take the lead, Stefan. ;) There is a high limit to the number of drivers for this package, so it could be something that gets a lot of people into contributing to pear. Regards, David
