[ bug originally reported by Stuart Prescott ] The heuristics used to detect language type could be wrong (of course), it would be nice to allow overriding detected language type with a ?lang=... URL parameter. A related problem is that we might wrongly detect that some file is not a text-like file, and hence only offer to download it, rather than render it on the web. E.g. http://sources.debian.net/src/make/latest/doc/make.info-4/ currently can only be downloaded, in spite of info being a textual file format. In terms of code the semantic of a new "lang" URL parameter should therefore be twofold: - on one hand its presence should override the detection done by libmagic to decide whether to render or download a file (see http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/qa/debsources.git/tree/python/models.py#n652 ) - on the other hand the language specified should override the heuristic based language detection. To simply force web display without requiring any highlighting, we could use something like ?lang=none -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
