# Syntax highlighting of recent changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hello,
|
||
|
|
is there a simple way to highlight the diff printed in the [[/recentchanges]]
|
||
|
|
page? I imagined several solutions, but I am still wondering about the best one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* One might activate the [[plugins/highlight]] and [[plugins/format]] plugins,
|
||
|
|
and change the [[change.tmpl|/templates]] template, to use this plugin. But as
|
||
|
|
the diff is formatted not to mess up html (e.g. `\[[link]]` becomes
|
||
|
|
`[[link]]`), the output would be unreadable.
|
||
|
|
* One might improve [[plugins/recentchangesdiff]] plugin by adding an option
|
||
|
|
`diff_escape_html=>yes/no` to it. Setting this to `no` would leave html
|
||
|
|
unescaped, so that it would be correctly rendered by plugin
|
||
|
|
[[plugins/format]].
|
||
|
|
* One might change the [[plugins/recentchangesdiff]] plugin, to add syntax
|
||
|
|
highlighting to diffs, but this would duplicate plugin [[plugins/highlight]].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In my opinion, the second solution is the best one. However, to be neat the
|
||
|
|
`change.tmpl` template might detect that both plugin [[plugins/format]] and
|
||
|
|
`diff_escape_html` option are enabled, and, depending on it, output the diff
|
||
|
|
in `<pre>DIFF</pre>` tags or in the `\[[!format diff """DIFF"""]]` directive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Letting user edit `change.tmpl` template to enable this feature is also
|
||
|
|
possible, but this would prevent him from benefiting of the later improvement
|
||
|
|
of this template. In my opinion, an ideal solution would require the user
|
||
|
|
nothing more than enabling some plugins or options.
