You *can* copy and paste code from the snippets pages to the IDE or an Editor and you *will* get nicely formatted (indented) code ready to compile. If the wiki doesn't provide c&p there has to be at least a download link for the source code as text or it will be unusable. I do not like wikis. I like the snippets as they are now. Why invest so much time and work for making the wiki snippet-ready by extending syntax highlighting and whatever if anything is already running? Why drop the very nice and matured work of Paolo and Tom and start anew? What really could be helpful is attracting more public attention to the snippets pages and the creator. Why don't the marketing people do?
