I was surprised to find other languages not in your text file that appear to no longer be supported. I've gone through the geshi php files looking for assembler languages only so far: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/224379 How/Why were these excluded in your list? I've found reasonable fallbacks for many of the other unsupported languages, and as previously mentioned they have added support for some of these languages. Is Wikimedia going to only use the official releases of Pygments? Their last release was six months ago. Is someone in communication with them about pushing out a new release? If they dont release them soon, will Wikimedia maintain its own version of the software? -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
