Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66847&edit=1 ID: 66847 Updated by: sobak@php.net Reported by: kentfredric at gmail dot com Summary: svn.php.net style sheets useless for viewing source code -Status: Open +Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: Website problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: sobak Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hi, I've pushed commit which improves code listings on svn.php.net. Now it should be more way more readable, even without highlighting. "An alternative would be simply un-blocking the ability to view source files raw in VC" I have no abbility to do this but I will talk to competent people. Thanks for your report.

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 -> --- Checkout view is disabled HTTP Response Status 403 Forbidden --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66847&edit=1
