[Docutils-develop] Directive for syntax highlightning code

[Toni B. <Ton...@sw...>]

Hi,

I've started to use ReST with the wiki inside Trac.

I missed that there was no way to syntax highligh code-block and looked
aroung the net.

I found a code-block directive in the rst2 plugin to Leo project (search =
on google).

With that you do=20

.. code-block: Language

  code
  ....


And the code is syntax highlighted. I have sent a patch for this =
directive to be included to
Trac aswell.

But I think this is of general intrest so I propose to change the qoute =
directive to

:: Language

Where language is optional argument and says that the quote is written =
int the programming
language.

The code in Leo uses SilverCity module to syntax-highlight the code.=20
If ppl dont think it is good idea to change the quote tag i would =
propose to include
the code-block directive in the distribution.

I would be happy to supply the code, if there is an intrest.

Best regards,

Toni
