Full Discussion: New Code Tags (Syntax Highlighting)

That (the "plain" brush) did not help much (just removed all the color).

So it looks like this will not work well for all of the reason's posted above.

Without objections, I have reverted back to the original way of the code tags.

Do you guys want me to turn it back on and try on "plain" as a final test?

I agree that this syntax highlighter is "pretty" but not accurate and so therefore misleading.

It's certainly faster using the original HTML without all the extra JS code to load in the browser.

If it is not adding real value (and not solving the "original sin" scrollbar issue), we don't need the overhead and performance hits.

Should I turn on "plain" and see how it goes without the colors? Or just abandon this idea?

Suggestions welcome!

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dwww

DWWW(1) 							      Debian								   DWWW(1)

NAME

       dwww - access documentation via WWW

SYNOPSIS

       http://localhost/dwww/index.html
       dwww
       dwww program-name | package-name

DESCRIPTION

       A  typical Linux system has documentation in many formats (manual pages, info files, READMEs, and so on).  dwww makes it possible to access
       all of these via the same interface, a WWW browser.  This makes it easier to use the documentation.

       To use dwww, load the URL given in the SYNOPSIS.  If you have a web browser installed, you can also just run the dwww command  which  loads
       the  URL.   If  BROWSER	environment  variable  is  set, dwww uses sensible-browser(1) to load the URL.	Otherwise, dwww first tries to use
       browser specified by DWWW_BROWSER or DWWW_X11_BROWSER configuration variable (cf.  dwww(7)), than will use sensible-browser(1) command.

       If optional argument program-name or package-name is specified, dwww will search all documentation related to given program or package.

ENVIRONMENT

       BROWSER
	      Program used to load the above mentioned URL.

FILES

       /etc/dwww/dwww.conf
	      Configuration file for dwww.

SEE ALSO

       dwww-find(8), dwww(7), sensible-browser(1).
