ScrewTurn Syntax Highlighter Plugin

ScrewTurn is an open source wiki engine written in C# .NET 2.0. While it does have many useful features, it is lacking one of the features I find most useful… A syntax highlighter. However, it does have a fairly good plugin system which lets you extend the wiki beyond its standard features. After searching through the forums the only syntax highlighter I could find was one by t_magennis (GeShi Code Highlighting), which uses the PHP GeSHi library, and since ScrewTurn is an ASP.NET application it makes this plugin more of a hack.

After searching around I found a lightweight syntax highlighter by Thomas Johansen and Christian Nordbakk, called Lonwans Highlighter. Although it is not as extensively written as GeSHi, it does perform highlighting and supports 23 languages with the ability to extend the amount of languages through an XML file. This is the basis for the plugin which I created… Syntax Highlighter.
