Overview

This is a MediaWiki extension that enables including code with syntax highlighting. To use, it, enclose your code in tags like this

<source lang="Language">
 ....
</source>

or

<syntaxhighlight lang="Language">
 ....
</syntaxhighlight>

where Language is the code for the programming or markup language being used. (Both forms work the same way, <syntaxhighlight> is handy for when the source code example itself contains a <source> tag.)

The documentation lists a large number of supported languages, but the ones most likely to be useful here are

• lsl2: Linden Scripting Language
• cpp: C++
• bash: Bash shell
• html4strict or html5: HTML
• javascript: Javascript
• perl: Perl
• php: PHP
• python: Python
• sql: SQL
• xml: XML

LSL

 if (type == 0)
        {
            llOwnerSay("Near");
        }
        else if (type == 1)
        {
            llOwnerSay("Stopping");
        }
...
