Adding Syntax Highlighting to Steemit?

I think that would be great, but I feel the Steemit - team has other priorities. Since it isn't necessary for mass adoption, it will likely be shot down.

    I'm planning on doing the work as far as the code goes. Since steemit already supports github flavored markdown, it shouldn't be a hard change. They are using remarkable, which supports highlightjs.

    Obviously the programming community isn't the largest on steemit, but I feel it has a great chance to be and this feature would make a huge difference.

    That said if the team doesn't want to accept it, I understand.

      Help me out. I'm not really seeing a pattern or anything. Are you part of the team?

        I'm not part of the team.

        I have just seen some good merge requests being closed for good.
        Before you put a lot of work in, be aware, that it probably will not go through.

        I'd appreciate colored code, but as I said above: Given the history, it probably has very little chance ...
        Maybe it would be something for chainbb ...

          I was a bit worried about your comments so I looked trough 20+ pages of pull requests on condenser... I could only find one feature request that was closed and I found the reasoning for that one to be sound. Do you have some examples?

            Well ... looks like there were not many merge requests for features.
            The two I found were shut down.

              Yeah that was the one I was referring to :) Well, will be interesting to see how it goes down if you create a PR for this @jimmyhmiller. I'll be rooting for you!

                It would be pretty cool, but I'm afraid it's not going to happen.
