Ruby syntax highlighting (extension?) for all Ruby code samples

Find a way to reduce verbosity/duplication when creating links like this (which I may want to use in multiple places):

The Plugin Dependencies plugin[1], for example, can be installed as a gem.

Factors that make it so verbose:

  • There are two links: an internal and an external link (sometimes you want to include a direct link to the official site in addition to an internal link within the wiki)
  • The internal link has:
    • A custom title / link text
    • A link to an anchor

Ideas for making it less verbose:

<link to='39' include_external='true' />
{{link to=39 include_external=true}}

, where 39, of course, is the primary key of the object that we are linking to. (The user interface would try to hide that implementation detail.)

This would link directly to the Plugin dependencies object itself.

If you'd rather have it link to the default context page (Rails plugins and libraries / Plugin tools, in this case), and scroll to the part of the page where this object appears (using page fragment links, #Plugin_dependencies), perhaps you could specify that as an option in the link.

{{link to=39, link_to_default_context_page, include_external_link=true}}
