It does the job, although I wish it could work in the source code of web pages.

    I don't know why this isn't core functionality in Firefox and why this extension isn't among Mozilla's "Recommended" either.
    This extension is an immediate improvement, because I now have a much easier time understanding source files that I open in Firefox.
    Some slight changes for this to be perfect would be to enable autodetect by default and to choose a more contrasty colour scheme by default (Qt Creator Light/Dark maybe) so the highlighted text doesn't fade into the background.

    So it only works for RAW files, not on the pages itself, is that correct?

    Thank you :-)

    Yes, that's correct: raw files (with a few exceptions that won't work, those on raw.githubusercontent.com being a notable one).

    We could technically inject the library code to colour elements on regular pages, but I wouldn't really know what to colour exactly, it depends too much on the page. Doing all `` blocks could be a thing maybe, or we could imagine adding a feature to selectively colour a block, but there's nothing of the sort supported by the add-on at the moment.

    Not bad, but doesn't work on github RAW files, so it is pretty much useless for me :( Anyway, a custom scheme import functionality would be nice.

    Thanks for the feedback, and sorry to hear that about the GitHub raw files :(. In case you haven't seen it already, there are explanations about it here [0].

    For the color schemes, I'm relying on the schemes providing by highlight.js. I don't really have the motivation for adding an “import” feature (but would possibly accept a PR). I'll file an issue to acknowledge and keep track of the request, though.

    Overall is excellent ext!
    On note. Settings for autohilite and other one are not saved, so I must click 'autodetect' each time.

    Thanks for using the add-on, and for your feedback!

    If the settings are not saved, this is a bug, I'll try to investigate. Any chance you can tell me about your OS and Firefox version, please? Here or on this GitHub issue: https://github.com/Qeole/Enlight/issues/9

    I thought it was missing PHP, but it was just not in an obvious place. There's an initial list of what I guess are commonly requested languages and then suddenly it's an alphabetical list. Maybe the whole thing should be alphabetical for such a long list.

    Thank you for the feedback!

    The library that is used by the add-on makes a distinction between a set of “most-common languages”, and all other languages it supports. For technical reasons, this add-on initially supported just this restricted set of languages. When I added all the other ones (including PHP), I appended them to the list. So in fact this makes two alphabetical lists: a first one with the “most-common languages” (as presented by the library, I'm not actually trying to classify languages here), and a second one below, with all other languages.

    I understand that this might be confusing. Maybe I will change it in the future. Ideally, I would like to implement an option to switch between the complete list of languages, or just the restricted subset. One advantage would be that auto-detection goes much faster when the library is compiled for fewer languages…

    Anyway, thanks again!

    Works. However, the settings could be better. It's hard to find a good, bright color scheme without a quick preview.
