Reading this answer I've realized that we don't have Google Code Prettify support on Ask Ubuntu like we have on Stack Overflow.

Since we agreed that we welcome Ubuntu development questions I think we should also have Google Code Prettify support.

  • We'd have to make sure it doesn't mess up the bulk of code blocks, which is log files (most of them) and shell scripts (some).

    If we could get it to default to lang-none then it wouldn't be a problem. On Stack Overflow it infers the language based on the tags. We can have it set via <!-- language: lang-type --> if we don't want to have single language tags on Ask Ubuntu.

  • Yes please! I could have sworn that we've asked for this before, but my search foo is failing me.

Reset to default

It is done. :)

You have syntax highlighting enabled and moderators can configure the setting for individual tags from their respective tag wiki info pages. The default is "none".

For more info on the finer points of syntax highlighting, see here.
