Code Editor

[simow]

Gentlemen,

I know it's always a thing with extensions. We have to strike a balance between security and usability. This is why I'd like to start this thread about the MediaWiki extension CodeEditor. Some of you might argue "Not another extension!", I say that we are running a Wiki with programming as the topic and this is in my opinion -- at least -- an option we should consider.

What do you think?

Hi,

The idea doesn't sound bad but taking a look at the compatibility and issues part, it doesn't look like the best bet currently

Agreed. And furthermore they are thinking about integrating it directly into the WikiEditor if I am not mistaken. Let's just keep it in mind. I just wanted to check the general assessment of the others around here.

In any case, that would be really great. Writing little snippets would be easier just with the automatic parenthesis/quotes matching
