I've been working with the maintainer of GeSHi Syntax-highlighter (provides the syntax highlighting on Rosetta Code) to add support for J.
There are a couple of J features that GeSHi doesn't currently handle well and the options for handling them each have their pros and cons. One of those features is the control word construct ( controlword_myjvarname. ) . For example ( for_i. ) or ( goto_myname. ). The maintainer of GeSHi suggested I should seek guidance from the J community as to which of the following two methods fits best with J and best meets our needs. In short Method A highlights the whole word (including the "dot" and "_myvar" suffix), whereas Method B highlights only the "word" part of the control words (not the trailing "." or the "_myvar" suffix). For a better description and examples see the following wiki page: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Guides/Syntax%20Coloring/GeSHi%20Options If you have a preference for one of the two methods please register it either here or on the wiki page. (Method B is currently being used by GeSHi). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
