[savannah-help-public] [sr #109696] markdown verbatim (for code snippets) does not respect white-space

[Peter Liscovius]

Follow-up Comment #5, sr #109696 (project administration):

Someone compared available webbrowser side based javascript syntax
highlighters.

They all work on code sections in the html content wrapped by pre-tags or
combinations of pre+code-tags.

And then there are server side parsers, which are - ummh -  special:

There is Python Pygments and PHPygments
https://github.com/capynet/PHPygments (own license)
and seems to be wide adopted according to http://pygments.org/faq/ . So a
serverside syntax highlighting is possible. Maybe not applicable due their
license or require change license needed.

My experience with GeSHi (https://github.com/GeSHi/geshi-1.0 (GPL 2) and fork
https://github.com/easybook/geshi ) which is used by Dokuwiki and Flyspray:
Slow and not solid as I wish (slowiness mitigated by caching to file/database
unless origin content changes). Probably will replace it in future.
