[xwiki-devs] Font used by the code macro (was : Problem with Code Macro)

[Jonas von Malottki]

Hello,
This discussion reminds me of another point: The code highlighting in 
the code macro is fairly poor compared to others. Isn't there a way to 
improve that?

I mean there are already other (browser-javascript) solutions available 
for this task:
http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/  (LGPL -> compatible)
http://shjs.sourceforge.net/index.html (GPL)
http://softwaremaniacs.org/soft/highlight/en/  (3Clause BSD style)

Furthermore it is not very easy to extend the radeox code macro to 
handle more different languages (Or I haven't found it yet).

Just an idea..
Nice greetings
Jonas
