Pre Sale Support
What can i do with the comment highlljghter? It seems i cannot highlight comments of other commenters, am i correct? Is this plugin only for the admin of a site or also for ordinary users to highlight comments of other users?
Hi Rjod,
The addon is designed to display formatted source code. This addon supports almost all programming languages including Apache, Bash, C#, C++, CSS, etc. Please watch this small video to better understand how the addon works: https://www.screencast.com/t/HttH2yv2Aj
Context: I have a syntax highlighter on my site, but it has some shortcomings with things like lazy loading comments, so I’m considering whether to purchase your syntax highlighter.
Three pre-sale questions:
1) Does your highlighter style correctly for comments that are loaded via Ajax / lazy load?
2) Is there a way for commenters to use the syntax highlighter if the rich editor is disabled? Currently I’m having users wrap their code inside a shortcode that gets processed. Could something like that be made to work?
3) Is there a way to use the syntax highlighter in the post content? I don’t want to run separate syntax highlighters for post vs comment code.
Thanks much!
Yes, it works fine with Ajax / lazy load.
The addon works if the rich editor is enabled.
Yes, you can use the “Custom Selector” option. It allows highlighting the code outside the comment section.
Thank you for the answers. A few follow up questions if you would be so kind:
1) I couldn’t find any documentation about the custom selector. Can you give me an example of what a custom selector looks like? Is it an HTML 5 element? A class on a div?
2) If the custom selector option can be used in the body of a post, couldn’t it also be used in the body of a comment typed in the non-rich text editor?
Thank you again.
