Needs better description

Open andylima opened this issue 8 years ago • 9 comments

The description currently says: Quicklook Syntax highlighting with support for Drupal filetypes and more (module, profile, theme, install, inc)

It doesn't reflect all the improvements QLColorCode-extra brings.

As I don't use Drupal, this description kinda turned me off initially and I didn't install it...

But on a second look, this is the best improvement I've found over the classic QLColorCode.

Will you consider updating the description to reflect all/most improvements QLColorCode-extra brings?

...And thank you for this plugin! 👍

Hi @andylima

Thanks, Do you have a suggested alternative wording, I'm happy to update it.

Cheers Brian

Hi @BrianGilbert :)

OK, let's define some criteria:

  • We can present a range of what's supported
  • Mention a few file formats that most developers are using nowadays
  • Mention: "Handles shell scripts and other files without extensions" (Pls confirm this...)

@BrianGilbert assuming you agree with the above criteria (and that everything is correct), let me try my hand at this:

QuickLook plugin that previews a whole range of source code formats — from JavaScript, CSS / SCSS, to classic ones like C / C++, Bash, SQL, Lisp & LaTeX.

  • We can add: More than nn (how many?) file formats supported.
  • Finally, we can mention: "Handles shell scripts and other files without extensions" (Can you confirm this?)

What you think?... :)

Sounds good to me, however I don't know all of the formats it works with off the top of my head

this should be a good list of supported languages http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/en/langs.php

That's good news, @BrianGilbert! Because here @kdeldycke is saying:

QLColorCode-extra is not up to date (...)

He also says:

The real, active project is now located at: https://github.com/anthonygelibert/QLColorCode

So maybe totally make sure your project is as updated as that one. ;)

That version only works when installed via homebrew, as if requires homebrew package for highlight.

Isn't that a good thing? Because that way highlight is always kept updated by Homebrew itself...
