With lang="sql" getting uppercase string SQL after a dot
Code:

Results in

@rdbms/admin/dbmsstat.SQL @rdbms/admin/prvtstat.plb @rdbms/admin/utlrp.SQL

It seems only to be happening with the sql-extension. I know that when running the above commands you can leave out the sql-extension, but it happens also when I want to spool output to another sql-file, and then I can't omit the extension.

The workaround is to put it between double quote, e.g @"rdbms/admin/dbmsstat.sql" but that doesn't look too nice in my wiki-page.

Thought to solve it by editing sql.php in extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeShi/geshi/geshi and remove SQL from the keywords-array but that didn't solve it.

I run a site with Mediawiki 1.23.10. And it also happens when using source lang="sql" instead of syntaxhighlight.

Is this a bug or an (undocumented) feature? Or am I overlooking something completely?

Code with &lt;dl&gt;s cause bad things
There's a bug that I'm running into:
 * Here's a dt
 * Here's a dd that contains code with line numbers
 * And here's one that doesn't have numbers
 * That did not work so well...
 * That did not work so well...
 * That did not work so well...

Gives:

Loading method
Hello, It is said in the extension's wikipage that SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi should be load with : In my case (mw 1.24), it breaks the server (it gives blank page for every requests)

This worked fine :

Can be a good idea to adapt the page to avoid other mistakes.

Thanks for your work !

Wrong C++ highlighting (solved)

 * This is a bug report for the C++ lexer, where can I post it? The GeSHi project in the link on the top of this site does not longer exist … --Prog (talk) 20:18, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I have reported it at pygments, the new base of the SyntaxHighlight extension. --Prog (talk) 15:07, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

I have some wrong highlightings in the Version on de.wikibooks (same as here):

Here are the formal definitions of C++ literals:
 * integer_literal
 * floating_literal
 * character_literal
 * string_literal
 * user_literal (not described above, but also not supported by GeSHi)

Kind regards! --Prog (talk) 18:57, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

line property destroys copy & paste code (solved)
When I use the line property, I can't select the source without the line numbers:

This is very disruptive! The line property is a very nice feature, but it destroys all my code examples when I use copy & paste, so I can not use it without much trouble for the readers. --Prog (talk) 20:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC)


 * solved via CSS:  on Mediawiki:common.css. --Prog (talk) 15:37, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Geshi.css
Since the GeSHi update, all the present code is non-functional, as none of the referenced classes are no longer used. However, what is the status of MediaWiki:Geshi.css? Is it still loaded? 14:42, 28 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I guess this needs to be filed on Phabricator. Currently no developer seems to be involved in looking at this talk page. Cheers --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 12:51, 22 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Doesn't seem even basic diligence was exercised in testing it or considering the needs of the vast number of end users, given the large number of breaking changes. I wonder why this couldn't be done as a new alternate extension for people who weren't happy with the GeSHi-based one instead of overwriting what was a stable product for years. --QuasarEE (talk) 16:22, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

inline
Please deprecate  and suggest   for proper XML. Some of us (=me+maybe others) still recall the hilarious  in XHTML1, and not all backward steps in HTML5 are better than XHTML1 transitional. –Be..anyone (talk) 22:19, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Can't use SyntaxHighlight inline with a list
In the past i was able to use the extension Extension:Code with a list like this,
 * the code

And the code block was indent correctly.

But now when i use SyntaxHighlight the same way it brakes horribly (you can see it here http://imgur.com/a/wCjp8), and i need to put the opening tag on a new line to make it work.

I'm running
 * MW 1.25.1
 * SyntaxHighlight 1.0.8.12

-- UPDATE I downloaded a new version of SyntaxHighlight (Version 2.0) from the git, extracted it, and installed with composer, and it seems to work like before.

An omission in the installation instructions
The installation instructions say

Download and place the file(s) in a directory called SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi in your extensions/ folder. Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

Pigments Missing?
I'm seeing the following error when trying to use the master build of Syntaxhighlighter with MW 1.26wmf16. I cloned the repo, ran composer install and even went in and ran 'python create_pygmentize_bundle' in SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/pygments/pygmentize. Code blocks are showing up and unformatted blocks and the ""Pages with syntax highlighting errors" category is being applied.

The most interesting chunk of the below error is this portion (to me at least).

lang="oz" ?
Hi, in the list of "Previously supported lexers", "oz" has no strike-through, but it doesn't seem to be supported by Pygments (see fr:Oz (langage)). --NicoV (talk) 12:23, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

ignore line attribute when attribute "line" set to "off"
motivation: I would like to create a template that (among other things) calls syntaxhighlight via parser function.

unfortunately neither {{#tag:syntaxhighlight|{{{code|{{{2}}}}}}|lang="{{{lang|{{{1|text}}}}}}"|start="{{{start|1}}}"|highlight="{{{highlight|}}}"|{{#if:{{{line|}}}|line=1}} nor {{#tag:syntaxhighlight|{{{code|{{{2}}}}}}|lang="{{{lang|{{{1|text}}}}}}"|start="{{{start|1}}}"|highlight="{{{highlight|}}}"{{#if:{{{line|}}}|{{!}}line=1}} works. with both examples, you cannot activate line numbering.

My only solution so far is to patch the extension [0], then somthing like this works perfect: {{#tag:syntaxhighlight|{{{code|{{{2}}}}}}|lang="{{{lang|{{{1|text}}}}}}"|start="{{{start|1}}}"|highlight="{{{highlight|}}}"|line="{{{line|on}}}"}}

So my request: Does anyone have a solution to the problem? Otherwise, would it be possible, to make a small change to the extension to allow for setting the "line" attribute but ignoring it nonetheless?

Hightlighting for templates and wiki
How to enable highlight in quoted code of templates (ParserFunctions), when quoting it in wikipedia? And also of wikicode (brackets –  )? Example:


 * What you're asking for is wikitext support. I quote from Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi:


 * "Pygments does not yet provide a "wikitext" or "mediawiki" lexer. Use "html" instead. (see: T29828)"

Invoke pygmentize on Windows machines
SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi will not work on Windows machines, because Windows doesn't know, that it has to use Python for the pygmentize package. So you have to rename pygmentize to pygmentize.py and to set the $wgPygmentizePath Variable in your LocalSettings.php. In my opinion it should not be to hard to solve this inconvenience in the next revision.

There's also a problem described in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28398163/laravel-symfony-process-component-fails-to-start-new-process which I encountered on my Windows 7 x64 machine. Shortly, Symfony\Process doesn't start python (or any other) process correctly nor reads any results of the pygmentize package. My simple workaround was to get rid of the Symfony\Process component in the implementation of the highlight function in extensions\SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi\SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.php file, and replace it by calls to PHP IO functions. The code is below (see the part which is commented out). Any better solution would be highly appreciated.

Windows Issues
Actually it works just fine under Windows.

If you have an issue with PHP Warning: fopen: Filename cannot be empty in C:\inetpub\mediawiki\vendor\symfony\process\Pipes\WindowsPipes.php on line 55 and your sys_temp_dir in php.ini is set to e.g. C:\Windows\Temp\PHP (or C:\Windows\Temp or any folder under C:\Windows\Temp) you will probably run into this issue. Even if otherwise MediaWiki and PHP are working just fine (can write to $tmp folder).

In my case, IUSR (the user account which is the identity of the app pool in which my dev wiki web site is running) had write permissions on $tmp folder. The issue is, that this user also needs READ permissions on C:\Windows\Temp folder.

Also DO install Python 2.7.x and Pygmentize (pip install pygmentize), then set:

Hope this helps someone. Blaz
