Hi,

I am currently creating a content type that will be able to display code with syntax highlighting.

I am not sure how should I call my content type :

- Code ?

- Display code ?

- Code display ?

- Code displayer ?

- Code highlighting ?

- Syntax highlighting ?

- Something else ?

Thanks !

Hi Degrange!

While I have a tendency to just call them what I like - shame on my - it's probably best to choose a name that tells the user what he/she can do with it, so Code Highlighter might be appropriate (natural languages have a syntax too, so Syntax Highlighter might be misleading in 0.0261% of cases). If it's rather an exercise, then there might be better names though.

Cheers,
Oliver
