MediaWiki / Syntax highlighting

From WhyNotWiki

[MediaWiki (category)]

In the future: I'm keeping my eyes open for a good extension to do this for me...

[WhyNotWiki / Conventions (category)]

In the meantime: Just put all code blocks in <pre> tags...

Also, you can feel free to start encoding the language of the block, so that when we finally do get a syntax highlighting extension/feature, we already know which language should be used for syntax highlighting for each block...

Valid language options are:

• console: commands typed in the shell / on the command line
• bash: a bash script
• mediawiki: MediaWiki wikitext markup
• ruby
• ... (the rest should be intuitive enough to guess)

Example:

<pre class='console'>
> svn propset svn:externals "rails http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk" vendor
</pre>

> svn propset svn:externals "rails http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk" vendor
