Today @bd808 and I updated the #Pygments syntax highlighter on #Wikimedia from version 2.11.2 to 2.15.1 and saw a pretty significant drop in latency so far!

Also brought in some new languages, including the long-requested "wikitext"! You can now highlight wikitext markup in wikitext! lots of documentation to update :)

#python #Pygments 2.15 released (2023-04-10)

-https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-announce-list@python.org/thread/FXYJSJ3QTVXBME6V6YPNHSKDMOUPXZMO/

- https://github.com/pygments/pygments/releases/tag/2.15.0

"Pygments 2.15 provides half a dozen new lexers and many improvements to
existing lexers, as well as official support for Python 3.11. Please
have a look at the changelog https://pygments.org/docs/changelog/"

TIL: when pytest shows code, it automatically adds syntax highlighting if pygments is installed <3

(pictured: the same test before vs. after installing pygments in the venv)

#Python #pytest #pygments

I just got the first version of my Respawn Squirrel (source engine scripting language) lexer working! I'm making it in #pygments for highlighting in the Sphinx documentation for the https://northstar.tf #titanfall2 #modding client.

Pygments lexers are heaps of painful regex, and it probably doesn't help that I've never built a lexer before. But hey, now the docs can have beautiful code blocks! image is a screenshot of the readthedocs page.

#MediaWiki uses the #Pygments syntax highlighter to enable rich formatting of code blocks: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight

diskdance has submitted a pull request to add a lexer to support #wikitext markup: https://github.com/pygments/pygments/pull/2373

Hopefully it'll be in a release soon, to be used in on-wiki help pages and documentation!

Wow, #pygments is amazing huh?

I think this #Pygments theme is the most Halloweeny of the bunch.

(I promise I will not submit a pull request to change its name to "Pumpkin Spice".)

Presuming there are other #Python developers besides me who periodically go looking for a simple visual catalog of #Pygments code-colorizing styles, I'll share this page I made last weekend: https://dpaste.com/styles
