Re: [Codestriker-user] Re: integration with enscript

[David S. <si...@us...>]

Actually it may not be lots of work, but a medium amount of it.  :)

We will only be able to support it for those topics that are linked to a 
repository.  That way, we'll be able to generate the entire original 
source file and the entire new source file with the changes applied.  We 
should then be able to run enscript on both of these temporary files, so 
that it is marked up in HTML.  This will need to be done for each file 
being displayed.

Assuming enscript doesn't add newlines, we then should be able to carefully 
apply the codestriker-specific formatting that is required to each line, 
most of which doesn't involve the code itself, but around it.  Enabling 
LXR linking at the same time will be more complex, but may not be 
impossible, with the right regular expressions.

People have asked for this before... it would be a nice feature.  I don't 
know if I'll have time before the new year to look at it though, most 
likely at the start of next year.

Cheers,
David
