[Improving Boost Docs] Help request, Syntax Highlighting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: This message is part of a series of "Help request" posts. We need cool guys to help us in the docs project. There are some interesting task that may be done by one or two folks, and that will really help that this project comes up well. There are no time frames, just a bunch of people with different paces working together to make boost docs better. I am sending this message to the boost devel list to reach more hands. If you are interested (please be!) move further discussion to the boost-docs list. Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, We now have the option to change the syntax highlighting to the colours of our favourite IDE dynamically while reading the docs. You can read more about this here: http://tinyurl.com/2an9yt We need someone to identify the most used IDEs, so we include them in our docs. There have to be no more than ten possible options. I think that we can choose only five or six. The project consist in checking that the colours are right, and make the colour set for the missing IDEs. When this first task is finished, we must came up with a default syntax highlighting scheme for boost, that may be a combination of the others. We need to choose the colors, the font weight, etc and write a rationale for the future. (A discussion about this can be founded here: http://tinyurl.com/2td4su) We need you! (jaja... I am running out of "jump in" catching phrases) Thanks! Best regards Matias

FWIW, Textpad (www.textpad.com) my favorite text editor has syntax coloring for C/C++ keywords blue preprocessor and others - darker blue comments - green numbers - red brackets - purple operators - purple strings - dark purple/brown single characters - green URL - blue text (C++ Code) - black And being a 'nursery' colors fan, I like this scheme and have made MS Visual Studio IDE look much the same.
