- Rated 5 out of 5by Lampe2020, 2 months agoI 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by MP3Martin, 7 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Davide, 2 years agoSo it only works for RAW files, not on the pages itself, is that correct?
Thank you :-)Developer response
posted 2 years agoYes, 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by OM_RA, 3 years agoIt does the job, although I wish it could work in the source code of web pages.

- Rated 3 out of 5by weiss, 6 years agoNot 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.

posted 6 years agoThanks 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by slazil, 7 years agoOverall is excellent ext!
On note. Settings for autohilite and other one are not saved, so I must click 'autodetect' each time.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks 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 - Rated 4 out of 5by enderandpeter, 7 years agoI 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.

posted 7 years agoThank 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! - Rated 4 out of 5by Ludwig, 7 years agoWorks. However, the settings could be better. It's hard to find a good, bright color scheme without a quick preview.
