[edit] What can this extension do?
This extension adds support for markdown extra syntax with GeSHi support. Regular markdown syntax works fine, too. Code blocks within the markdown syntax are syntax highlighted with GeSHi (Generic Syntax Highlighter).
Writing documents in markdown increases their portability (many wiki syntaxes differ) and readability (many wiki syntaxes are harder to read).
[edit] Usage
Wrap markdown syntax with <markdown> tags:
<markdown> Markdown syntax here </markdown>
To specify the language of code snippets use {{lang:LANGUAGE}} as the first line in the code snippet:
<markdown>
Markdown example with a GeSHi code snippet:
{{lang:php}}
echo "Hello World";
</markdown>
[edit] Download instructions

[edit] Installation
To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:
require_once("$IP/extensions/MarkdownExtraGeshiSyntax/MarkdownExtraGeshiSyntax.php");
