Changes in iG:Syntax Hiliter

Been obsessed with my iG:Syntax Hiliter plugin & have devoted all of the little free time I get, to working on it. 😀
I’d say, I’m pretty happy at the way things are going. Just scroll down a post below, there’s an excellent post there for ASP coders & for users of iG:Syntax Hiliter plugin. 😀

If you can’t or don’t want to, ok, let me break this to you. I’ve made the ASP language file for GeSHi, so the next release of iG:Syntax Hiliter will have ASP highlighting enabled, though I can’t say the same for next release of GeSHi. Oracle, the GeSHi developer had asked if he can include the ASP language file in next release of GeSHi & I ofcourse gave my consent. By the way, I should thank him for ironing out some errors that were there in the ASP language file & I had to eMail him for help. 🙂

Ok, now that’s a good news for ASP Coders using this plugin, but why should the rest of you upgrade? 😕 That’s a question that some might ask. Well, the reason is that in the next version, auto formatting of WordPress will be disabled in posts containing any iG:Syntax Hiliter tags, be it of PHP or ASP or Java or the generic CODE tags. Some of you asked me to tackle this issue right from the first release & I’m glad that this has been done. This means that the code snippets will not be plagued with nice quotes etc., that just ruin the code. 😉

Also, yes there’s one more thing, the next version of iG:Syntax Hiliter will be having the updated GeSHi v1.0.1 core which was released a few days back & had some bug fixes & a few code improvements.

So, all in all, the next release of iG:Syntax Hiliter will be a power release, a must update for everyone. Expect it in a few days, as I still need to test the new version of GeSHi. 😉
