I have begun working with the Smarty template framework at a new job, something completely new and bewildering to start off with but my previous knowledge of PHP defiantly helped.
I am finding that using Smarty in Dreamweaver CS5 is looking a little bland and have yet to find a way to colour code the smarty tags.
I have been given a Windows 8 PC to work on which may mean that some of the extensions i have found online don't work.
Does anyone know of a way to add these tags into DW and colour code them?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried any of these two:
http://smartydwt.klitsche.org/
and
https://code.google.com/p/dreamweaver-smarty/
These work but they don't work for me becasue I don't want to change the smarty syntax. The first one makes smarty tags instead of {if $x} into <smart:if $x> (if I remember correctly it has been years since I used it, this was originally made for Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004 or so). And the second one turns it into {{if $x}}
If you just want syntax highlighter/code-coloring look into this:

I've been using the atom editor for ~2 weeks and I like how easily expandable it is. I don't like that styling is in LESS, but since the premise of the project is that modules can be shifted around for customization, I thought it would not be hard to change this to SASS.
However I've not found a way to do this. I won't ask if it's possible - everything is 'possible' - is it possible without ripping atom apart?
It is not currently possible without going in and rewriting bits of Atom, specifically the ThemeManager and perhaps writing a replacement for the LessCompileCache class. There is currently no plugin interface or API for stylesheet compilation.
I've been searching google for a while to determine the most coder-friendly example boxes.
I'm wanting to share varying forms of ECMA script (JS for example) etc that provides the user with color coding and a simple way of copying the code. I know there are several out there, but I wanted to get some opinions from SOF since you guys probably have good experience with code.
so- What's the code-sharing tool you [would] use?
the solution
I ended up using Gist for complete snippets and am using Syntax Highlighter for *incomplete * code samples. There's a Drupal plugin for the Syntax Highlighter, but I dare say it's more of a pain to figure out the plugin than it is to just do things the old fashioned way (old fashioned being like 5 years ago..)
I use http://jsfiddle.net/
Color coding — check
HTML, CSS, JS — check
Live demo — check
gist has syntax highlighting and users can download the files separately, as a zip archive or using git. You can embed the files easily on other sites.
Additionally, the site tracks changes and other users can add comments or fork a gist to change it themselves.
I need syntax highlighting of source code from various languages (PHP, C#, VB, etc) within articles I have in Joomla. I have tried enabling the Geshi plugin, updating the language files and putting the code into my Joomla article - however I can't seem to get it to work.
I have also tried CodeCitation from JED but again, the problem seems to be the same - I don't know how to tell Joomla to process it as code. I placed {codecitation} and {/codecitation} around my code (as well as including the brush value) but it doesn't work. I am unsure if these tags should be placed on the source or the wysiwug
Could someone please assist with an alternative method or work out what I am doing wrong?
With CodeCitation: if you already wrote the article using the tags (i.e. {codecitation} code {/codecitation}), it should work. Did you check if you enable the mambot?
As of Joomla 3.4 Geshi has been removed - but you can still get Geshi+ (geshi repackaged with all the additional languages) - & see the tips here on how to configure geshi.
An example of Geshi+ working is here.
There are now Joomla plugins using highlightjs & google's prettify library to highlight syntax but I found geshi+ worked much better
I am not certain if you can use it in Joomla or not. I use the syntax highlighter by Alex Gorbatchev. I have used it in a couple of blogs (wordpress for instance) and in some stand alone web pages. Not hard to intergrate. It uses the 'pre' tags. You need to be sure the code is already escaped. It may be worth a look. Here is a link.

For months now I've been trying to find a code syntax formatting extension that works for BlogEngine.Net. I'm not fond of the behavior of the default formatting extension, and have tried a couple of others (manoli is among them), but they always seem to interact badly with the TinyMCE editor. Does anyone know of an extension that works, or a different approach that will allow me to make code samples pretty on my blog without hacking the crap out of the HTML myself?
Thanks.
I would try using Windows Live Writer along w/ the Paste From Visual Studio plugin. One you go WLW, you'll never go back to that damn TinyMCE interface.
WLW here:

Plugin here:

Thanks, Rafe. Thanks to this post that Hanselman put up the day after I asked the question, I downloaded WLW and am now using it. As far as getting prettily formatted code, I'm using cut-and-paste from a little tool developed and available on manoli.net.
Check out SyntaxHighlighter.. Works excellent. For easy integration into BlogEngine have a look at my blog post.
Is there a utility that will generate html or css for blocks of code (.net c#) when you post it on a website?
I have seen several websites with very nicely formatted code and I dont believe they do this manually.
Google prettify -

I prefer Syntax Highlighter implementations (I'm using Wordpress plugin implementation for my blog).
Advantages
It is based on JavaScript and does
not care about what you have on the
server.
Posts with this formatting display
properly on different RSS feeds and
can be copied to clipboard.
It is trivial to extend syntax
rules. I'm using that to highlight
custom operators in Boo-based DSL (see sample post)
Multiple languages are supported
out-of-the-box
(source: googlecode.com)
You can get JavaScript syntax-highlighting scripts, such as this one by Dean Edwards.
This is also a jQuery version apparently based on it which looks good.
CopySourceAsHtml is an add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 that allows you to copy source code, syntax highlighting, and line numbers as HTML.
http://copysourceashtml.codeplex.com
It's highly configurable, and works much better than the download page would make you expect! Don't know if there is something similar for VS 2008
If you don't have the ability to add the google prettifier CSS reference, this would be a better way to go, as what you get is a complete HTML with the required style. I use it all the time on our developers wiki, and loving it.
An even better solution, if you don't want to bother installing anything, is to just use the little web app I wrote called BlogTrog CodeWindow:
http://www.blogtrog.com
It's easy to use. Just paste your code and embed the results.
