Re: [IBMiOSS] FYI - Adding new language (syntax highlighting) on Github -- OPENSOURCE

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Good to know, thanks for the research.

Sorry for the delay on this, Github responded with a link on how to
contribute adding syntax highlighting for currently unsupported languages:

https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

It says the following up front, which may be a barrier in the short term:

"We try only to add languages once they have some usage on GitHub. In most
cases we prefer that each new file extension be in use *in hundreds of
repositories* before supporting them in Linguist."

But at least we now have the steps on how to do it.
Still checking on Bitbucket, think it relies on CodeMirror.

Respectfully,
