Author Lou Montana
Project Start 2022-03-08: Project start
Release Date
  • 2022-03-12: "v1" (0.50b), first upload
  • 2022-07-11: "v2" (0.85b), new parser
  • 2023-11-02: 0.9b, allow some wiki formatting in comments
Version 0.9b

This extension highlights and automatically links SQF commands and functions. It also covers SQS (free of charge).


Features

  • SQF Syntax support
  • SQS Syntax support
  • "Copy code to clipboard" button on hover
  • Partial wiki formatting in comments: ''italic'', '''bold''', <s>striked</s>, <u>underlined</u>, [[links|even styled ones]], {{templates}}
  • #defined constant value on mouse hover
  • SQF tag button in the wiki edit toolbar (next to B and I)
  • Options:
    • inline for inline code
    • notrim to remove the auto trim (lines themselves will always be rtrimmed)
  • Categorises wrong code pages in Category:Pages with SQF errors and Category:Pages with SQS errors


Installation

  • Unzip the directory to wiki/extensions/SQFHighlighter
  • Add wfLoadExtension( 'SQFHighlighter' ); to LocalSettings.php
  • there is a case-sensitive setting in extension.json (default true). Set to false to highlight improperly-cased commands and functions (e.g setDaMMage instead of setDammage, etc)
  • The extension creates full path links unless the host is one of the following (then relative links are created):
    • community.bistudio.com
    • community.bohemia.net


Usage

Using <sqf> tags will auto-generate syntax highlighting and links to the pages.

CSS Classes

All elements are <span> except for some exceptions:

  • unless using <sqf inline>, the parent block is a <div> holding another one for scrolling purpose; otherwise, is is a <span> as well.
