 Geshibot is a plugin for Joomla, that highlights code within content items (articles). Why Use Geshibot As you may know, Joomla and Mambo now already have a bot called Geshi, that is used for highlighting PHP Syntax, or other language syntax. However, I found the Geshi Mambot/Plugin to be lacking quite a few features. Geshibot, fills this in. Geshibot Features: * Uses the Geshi Syntax Higlighting Class from Geshi Project * Allow highlighting of syntax in multiple formats, php, xml, html4strict, javascript, etc. * Show or not show line number. * Show fancy line numbers * Load Joomla/Mambo Styles into highlighted syntax (uses JavaScript to add Joomla CSS Classes) * Show a Pure Source Code Links that opens source in new window, with no formatting * Show links to function/element references in highlighting * Loads CSS Classes so you can define your own CSS if needed. * Allow Custom Header and Footer. How to use GeshiBot In order for you to highlight Code you need to use the "" tags to encapsulate the code you need to highlight. The tag can take three parameters: language (or lang) - this can be php, html4strict, css, javascript, mysql, php-brief, text, xml header (or head) - Any Text that will display as the header footer (or foot) - Any text that will display as a footer You can also add more languages by adding the geshi language files into the: /joomla_site/mambots/geshibot/geshi/ directory.

| Nice BOT! by bambam82, April 29, 2008 |

thanks for creating this tool.
My only comment would be to have an option in {geshibot}, so you can select which ones have a button and which ones don't. Something like this. {geshibot lang="php" option="button"}
Keep up the good work.

Hard to believe it's still a Beta!
If you have more than one line of code to show in your site, you need this bot!
The developer is very actively debugging and available for help.
Excellent work!

| why not {geshibot} tags? by baijianpeng, August 30, 2006 |

Yes, this bot is very good. It is powerful than the Joomla Geshi bot. But disabling the WYSIWYG editor is not convenient. I think the authors can use {geshibot}{/geshibot} tag pairs to soround the codes.

| Greate idea, but ... by kimmerst, May 31, 2006 |

It's just not very convenient to disable the WYSIWYG editor for just entering the code snippets. Do you have any idea if it would be possible to integrate your solution into, let's say, JCE? :)
