Topic on Extension talk:SyntaxHighlight

I would like to use the <source> tag to present MediaWiki wikicode, but I couldn't find any related lexer. Is there any one I can use?

Nope. See phab:T29828.

Thanks for the link. Too bad MediaWiki doesn't support its own syntax!

Two points:

1. Try html. It's better than nothing.
2. The tag source is deprecated. Use syntaxhighlight instead.

Try "moin" as well. Mediwiki format was orignated from Moinmoin.

See https://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/mediawiki+moinmoin

MediaWiki's syntax was mostly derived from UseModWiki's, not Moinmoin's, which shouldn't be particularly surprising since UseMod was its predecessor on WMF wikis. (Where the syntax ultimately comes from is a completely different question, of course, and one I'm not sure would be particularly easy to answer.)

Of course, this doesn't really matter much for syntax highlighting; as long as the markup systems are sufficiently similar to each other, using Moinmoin's lexer for MediaWiki markup should still be a decent stopgap.

Yet, I tried 'lang=moin', and it doesn't really do anything concerning syntax highlight. Precision: what I'm trying to show in the code is template inclusion. Anyway, I just would like that the page I created were not automatically categorized as a "Page with syntax highlighting errors". I think the only way to do so is not to use this tag...
