Description:
------------
I was just looking in to see the source of a PEAR module hosted on
svn.php.net,
to see how it was implemented:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/packages/Var_Dump/trunk/Var_Dump.php?revision=237750&view=markup
To my horror, I noticed that:
1. The source code is horribly garish in terms of colouring, here, no
colour at all would be preferred to the intermittent low-contrast purple
banding.
2. The source code lacks CSS bits to preserve indentation, further
decreasing legibility.
The CSS Part is easy enough to resolve:
white-space: pre-wrap
And it would be good to have the lines in monospaced text:
font-family: monospaced
And it should be safe to stick that in
div#vc_file > table 's style
rule.
An alternative would be simply un-blocking the ability to view source
files raw in VC
For instance, gentoo's install of VC allows you to view source, by
clicking a "Download" on each source file, giving
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-perl/Algorithm-C3/Algorithm-C3-0.80.0.ebuild?revision=1.1
Which is quite legible.
However .... svn.php.net seems to have explicitly blocked this function
for some reason:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/packages/Var_Dump/trunk/Var_Dump.php?revision=237750
