@dfox Can we get syntax highlighting? I know someone already requested that so this is just an echo.

    For me its a no. This place would end as a code request community

    It's on our list, but kind of like @altermind points out, the utility of it here right now might be pretty limited, especially when considering the amount of work it would take to implement.

    A lot of people have suggested it, but to be honest, none of them provided any compelling use-cases.

    It's still something I think we want to have though, but is not top priority. I have some ideas for some other new devRant features that can probably take advantage of it, but those are just ideas now.

    @altermind good point.

    @dfox @altermind it could also be limited to a few lines to prevent abuse.

    @stalinkay I don't know... Its kinda like giving a cake to anyone but limiting to eat only half of it.

    @altermind just some thoughts. Code diet.

    @stalinkay good idea, but @altermind has a point, i don't want this to become code request ground 101. It would ruin it. It would be nice to have it tho when people write some stuff... but that's it. @dfox will need to put some limitations on it so it won't be abused and still be fun @trogus to do a nice design of it so it fits well.

    Which syntax would it highlight? Or would it be all languages?
