Reviews of syntaxtic!:
Doesn't handle Javascript well _at all_.
Why no monokai theme?
Very useful. It would be even better with the Solarized color scheme (which doesn't have yet).
Nice! Perhaps you could incorporate highlight.js themes. The themes you have are acceptable, but there more beautiful ones. If I double click the page It switches into to raw mode, but I have to hit F5 to get back to view mode...?
Has no effect on display of Java sources,
it's not working with the local pages
Please use event page instead of background page - do not eat my RAM all the time.
Can I disable double click function. I dont want use that view.
cannot support golang. it shows a blank page.
Thanks for this great extension, exactly what I was looking for
Seems interesting, doesn't seem to work for non-http links like chrome-extension:// (Ready from a chrome extension). Seems to need polish.
Amazing! Any way to set a custom font though?
nice
Fantastic, does exactly what it's supposed to.
No word wrap?
This is great for what I need to do. I am working on backporting fixes from gcc bugtracker and I wanted something to help. This is perfect! Thank you developers!
It's nice, but it needs some improvement. First thing first it's meant to be cross OSes, but its configuration options don't include any mac font(say Menlo, just as example).
Exactly what I need
There are a few issues with the formatting. In a java file, if there is a comment above a function, the extension does not recognize the function at all and highlights it as a comment as well. Please fix.
this is what i was looking for. Great utility for my perforce code viewing.. thank you.
JS highlight has bugs when code contains REGEX.
Useful tool.
Good!
Few fonts. Terrible themes. Failed at pretty simple js files.
Even when the themes look great, I cannot enable word wrap, and it does not work based on the MIME, it rather works on the extension that is simply a problem when displaying sources from generic handlers. Sad.
It won't match urls started with ftp or file. Match pattern should be changed to match all supported scheme. '*' in scheme only matches http or https.
How do I use this extension ?? I wona try this, but i don't know how to use it ??
This appears to only work with http and https urls. Why won't it work with file://? Please fix. Also, it would be great if we could tweak the output. The font choice is terrible and the red on black is bad. Other than that it's very handy. Just needs a little polishing.
It would be 5 stars if it did it whenever viewing source for html output. Right now, just doing it for certain extensions limits its usefulness for a developer.
Weak in highlighting code.
Doesn't work on ChromeBook... file loads but no background or syntax highlighting.
Like another user said, it would be nice to force no matter the extension. Also I'd love to see some kind of automatic line splitting. Would be nice for reading one line js extensions, or just poorly formatted code. But the themes look really nice, definitely better looking than just raw files.
It would be nice to force no matter the extension. If you're reading a xml web API usually it won't have extension, so this is useless.
pretty useful, could use matlab (*.m) support.
What would really be the icing on the cake, would be collapsible sections & regions. 4/5 until then
It's pretty cool, although it would be nice if you added support for Haskell ;) (.hs)
cool!
>> I like the code view, but when I want to copy from it, it grabs the line numbers as well, which is a bummer. Just view source (CMD+OPT+U) and copy from there... great plugin.
Cmd-A, Cmd-C to copy code no longer works because Syntaxtic copies the line numbers. You need to either manually remove the line numbers after you paste the code, or you need to manually select the code using your mouse. Other than that, the extension seems to work as advertised.
cool(-:
No custom color schema. No custom file type association.
I like the code view, but when I want to copy from it, it grabs the line numbers as well, which is a bummer.
Very useful! would be nice to be able to change font.
Greate for code view
I love what this extension does, but it incorrectly highlights java code that has javadoc throughout. It only looks at the first /** and the last */, and any code in between gets formatted as a comment. 5 stars if this was fixed.
Works great on my Chromium browser Version 24.0.1312.56 Ubuntu 12.04 (24.0.1312.56-0ubuntu0.12.04.1). After installing and enabling Syntaxtic, I only had to reload existing pages and voila; Syntax color coding!
Works really well! Would love the ability to have line wrap though.
Nice concept, poor implementation. There are plenty of open-source libs that could have reliably produced a polished output. Lots of bugs and polish problems.
Would be a great extension if there was a way of configuring how it determines the content type. Be it a map of filename patterns to languages in the settings, or even just a right-click -> select lang. Without this feature this otherwise excellent extension is useless (for me) unfortunately.
Really like this plugin but I had to amend the base stylesheet to get rid of an annoying white margin around the code, I added the below to shCore.css: body{ margin: 0; background: #0F192A !important; }
took a while to figure out how to do this for file:// protocol.... chrome settings >tools>extensions>choose extension-->options and enable "allow access to file uri... works like a charm
I 2nd what another reviewer said: "the ability to force highlighting on a document regardless of file extension or content-type..." Also, if I'm viewing the initial page source of a website, I would like the HTML highlighted. It's a great start and I can see this only getting better. Thanks!
Huge fan. It would be nice to be able to turn off line numbers, though. Or at least not include them in a copy-paste.
Eff ya! <3 it! COLORS!
I ended up choosing Sight over this as it handled css files better. I like how Sight will format minified css where as Syntaxtic! left it all on a single line. I struggled to get it working. I had to disable all other extension before it would work. After it was working, I could re-enable all other extensions.
Very cool and helpful! Feature requests: Work on view source Beautify code (auto format / tab) Ability to add your own file types / mime types and how they should be styled
Would love .tsv and .tab support, which would same way as .csv formatting. Also more extensive settings to configure which kind of highlighting to enable, which documents it has access to (eg by extension). Support for both extension and mime-type based would be handy
