e.g. for more common languages like C/C++, Python, etc.
I notice that pretty much the only language here that has a BBCode tag for syntax highlighting is PHP (with the [php][/php] tags). It would be nice if syntax highlighting for additional, more common languages could be added.
Er, by "more common", I mean that from what I've seen, PHP code isn't posted nearly as often as C/C++, shell scripts, Python/other non-shell interpreted languages, etc. Plus which I doubt many actually use the special tags even when they are posting actual PHP code (they'll just use the normal [code][/code] tags).
I'm thinking a way of doing this might be to include a "lang=" option in the tag, for example:
Quote:
[code lang=c]<C code to be highlighted here>[/code]
