I would really like to see Syntax Highlighting support for Elixir on Stackoverflow. Someone already created a topic on Meta StackExchange but since SE relies on an external syntax highlighting tool (Google’s code-prettify), there hasn’t been any work to support Elixir (even though an issue was also opened there over a year ago).
I’m interested in making this happen (as someone who spends 5+ hours daily on SO - especially in the Elixir tag). So my questions are:
- How do I get started in adding Elixir support to code-prettify?
- How do I represent Elixir constructs that need to be highlighted?
- And should I even send in a pull request? There seems to be minimal activity in the project, and many pull requests haven’t been merged or closed for a while.
