Rise - Code snippet syntax highlighting

I agree with Marco on this. It would be good to have a widget or modify the code snippet tool to look like a Linux terminal that we can apply courier new font to and apply a black background with white text.

Bonus points for including code syntax highlighting (for bash at least).

Thanks,

Hi all, I just want to bump the level of importance this feature request will be in time. This is precisely what I'm asking for here:

https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise-360/color-syntax-highlighter-for-code-snippet 

Hi. Any updates on this feature set yet? Syntax highlighting in code is a "must have" for a lot of us working in tech. Thanks!

Hi there, Backbase.  The code snippet block is not like a regular text-based block, and it doesn't include additional formatting features.

I'm curious to see what other input you get from the community about including highlighted syntax in Rise.  Would capturing an image of your formatted code and inserting the image into Rise work for you?  Here's a comparison.

Hi Crystal,

first of all, thank you for your reply!

An image would not be the best solution because we're a Software Company so that we need to teach some code. In order to be effective, we need our users to be able to copy and paste parts of the code.

A code snippet, as we see it, has the good feature of being able to handle long lines of code, without text wrapping.

Why not add a WYSIWYG editor to it? For the moment, would be effective enough (in order to highlight in bold, for example).

In any case, the best solution would be: 1. being able to choose which Programming Language 2. being able to highlight some lines or parts of the code snippet, like in bold or any other way.

We are very satisfied with Rise, anyways!

Thank you all and best regards, 

Alice
