@Admins: Syntax highlighting bug in the forum

[grump]

In case you don't know yet, code syntax highlighting has bugs:

Code: Select all

-- if comments start with a keyword
-- then the comment is formatted like code

Code: Select all

-- but start one comment with a word that is not reserved
-- then it suddenly works as expected
-- until you do this:

Code: Select all

-- it breaks completely if you do this;
-- this should be a comment, not code

Code: Select all

-- like this one, that is correctly formatted

Code: Select all

-- but not this one, that is broken
-- i think it may have to do with the number of keywords in a comment?
-- if you do this, then it will break
-- even this

Code: Select all

-- i can repeat it

Code: Select all

-- i can repeat it if i want (repat is a keyword btw.)

Code: Select all

-- i can repeat it until it breaks (until too)

Code: Select all

-- i can repeat it while i break it

Code: Select all

-- i can repeat it
-- i can repeat it if i want
-- i can repeat it until it breaks
-- i can repeat it while i break it

I think i remember that there's two languages allowed, js and lua, and sometimes, js formatting kicks in... kinda stupid but meh.

Looks like all those "broken" cases are detected as bash scripts.

EDIT: And in the post that prompted this (I assume) the code is detected as glsl.

Oh, I see! I didn't realize the software would attempt to detect the programing language. I just assumed all code was parsed as Lua code in this forum.
