Call for Code

21/07/2008
Maybe some people may already have noticed that we added a new directory to the SVN repostiory that we use for testing the highlighting of GeSHi.

This has allowed us to do many improvements to GeSHi recently while ensuring at the same time we didn't break any old stuff. But at the moment we are missing examples for various languages in our Code Repo so we can't check highlighting for all languages yet.

So what we need is:

• Small pieces of code of approximately 10 - 50 lines of code
• Typical code, i.e. they should illustrate what Code of this languages usually looks like, real-world examples preferred
• Preferrably for yet uncovered languages
• Not more comments as needed, basically as much comments as usual code of this language would have.
• Avoid code like the Sun JRE where there's one page of documentation for 3 lines of code. If you have some code like this, try reducing the comments
• The code snippet in itself should be free of syntax errors and be valid code for this language.
• The code should use as many features of the language as possible. If this becomes too elaborate, split it up into multiple files.
• The code must be available to be published in our repo (and stay there)

There are already some example snippets we gathered during debugging GeSHi, so feel free to contribute to them.

Please send your Code Snippets you'd like to contribute to this Code Repo to nigel @@ geshi .dot. org.

And if there is enough code available we even might release some additional package we are working on. But due to the lack of code, we couldn't test it on real-world examples yet.

Thanks in advance for any contributions!
