Mephisto syntax highlighting plugin broken with javascript?

Rails

Hi,

This is a rather narrow question, but, I can not think of a better place
to post it.(I thought http://mephisto.stikipad.com/ was a good choice,
but it is a wiki and not a forum. (If anyone knows of a good
mephisto-specific forum, I would appreciate knowing about it.))

Anyway, my question is this:

I installed the code higlighter pluging by Dan W. via:
script/plugin install
http://svn.danwebb.net/external/rails/plugins/filtered_column_code_highlighter/trunk/

Then I dealt with the broken install with the excellent assistance of
this help:

blog.wetonrails.com/2006/10/9/installing-the-codehighlighter

Ostensibly, this plug-in provides client-side syntax highlighting for
html,css,javascript and ruby. The only problem is that the syntax
hightlighting for javascript seems to be broken. Has anybody
experienced this problem?

I’d be curious to know if any solutions/fixes have been found.

Thanks,
Elliott

There’s a mephisto google group:

Probably going to need more info than ‘seems to be broken’. It’s in
use successfully on several sites that I know of.

Hi Rick,

I found the problem. It was another one of my idiot blunders. I had
neglected to include the include line for javascript syntax. The sad
part of it is that I looked for this specific problem at least six
times, and missed it every single time. I had copied the code and just
assumed it was correct. My bad.

{{ ‘codehighlighter/code_highlighter’ | javascript }}
{{ ‘codehighlighter/javascript’ | javascript }} <<------I didn’t have
this line
{{ ‘codehighlighter/html’ | javascript }}
{{ ‘codehighlighter/ruby’ | javascript }}
{{ ‘codehighlighter/css’ | javascript }}
{{ ‘codehighlight’ | stylesheet }}

Anyway, it all works now.

Thanks again,

Elliott
