Issues and Suggestions regarding syntax highlighting

[dellagustin]

Hello All,

I was about to suggets to a member of the forum to use the syntax highlighting to post abap code, but when I tried to use it I found the following issues/missing features:

• No support for ABAP code (the main programming language used in SAP)
• The editor has problems:
  • Code looks strange/bold/shadowed when creating (IE9).
    
  • When editing an existing post the result is strange (IE9)
    
  • Blank lines are skiped when displaying the content (Browser independent)
  • Blank lines are doubled when pasting (Chrome 31).
    
• The font is not monospaced, source code editors use mostly monospaced fonts. This may disrupt intentionally alligned comments.
• It is not possible to insert a title for syntax highlighting block.
• It is not possible to change the starting line number. This is useful when posting part of an existing sap standard code.

Best Regards,

Guilherme.

Hi Guilherme,

Do you have any plan to add a syntax highlighter for VB.NET? I write codes for SAP Business One SDK, which is mostly written by VB.NET. I have some more things I want to share in SCN blog.

Hello Toshi,

Sorry for the very late response, I didn't get a notification from your query.

I am not the responsible for the SCN blog. As you can see above, I'm only a user that found some problems. You should open a separate discussion for your query here in the SCN Support community.

Best regards,

Guilherme.
