Oct 23, 2022 at 12:52 comment added mklement0 For an updated feature request that accounts for the change from prettify.js to highlight.js, please see meta.stackoverflow.com/q/421016/45375
Sep 28, 2022 at 14:38 comment added Chase Florell @BananaAcid this question was from 2013, a lot has changed.
Sep 25, 2022 at 23:10 comment added BananaAcid For powershell, I would just use: 3 backticks as usual like ```lang-powershell \n\n ``` ... as the tag powershell does not work, but lang-* reference uses the language directly

Jan 18, 2018 at 23:04 comment added Chiramisu How is this not implemented yet in 2018? PS has been around for almost 12 YEARS! It's pre-posh-terous (lol) that this hasn't been prettified yet! >.< ... and while posh is a fine shorthand, I think psh is in better keeping with existing shorthands like csh and bsh. PLEASE IMPLEMENT THIS!!! ;)
Dec 21, 2014 at 21:20 comment added user6854914 @poke I've voted to re-open - the issue tracker says "the only thing I know it has trouble with is delimited comments, which follow the pattern <# comment #>" which sounds a lot better than nothing.
Dec 21, 2013 at 1:45 comment added poke There is an open issue for Prettify that includes a language file for PowerShell. It’s incomplete but definitely better than no syntax highlighting at all (current situation). Can we reopen the question and get that language file added to the highlighter?
Jul 10, 2013 at 23:08 comment added Chase Florell You could be right, but I was under the impression that SE forked that long ago and are maintaining their own now.
Jul 10, 2013 at 22:02 comment added Asad Saeeduddin I believe they're using Google Code Prettify, which isn't native to SE. You could try forking the source and adding support, then asking them to pull it back in.
Jul 10, 2013 at 20:25 comment added Mgetz I've done some format testing in the sandbox it would be plausible to use the csh highlighting until such a plugin was developed
Jul 10, 2013 at 19:31 comment added Mgetz trying to write this myself as per my question... lack of documentation on prettify itself is becoming a problem
Jul 10, 2013 at 19:16 comment added Chase Florell never thought of posh, but you're probably right.
Jul 10, 2013 at 19:15 comment added Aaron Bertrand Staff Not sure I like the cute shorthand like ps by itself - people may think it is PostScript, or PL/SQL, or PostgreSQL, who knows. posh would probably be less ambiguous and not really all that much more painful to write (especially since all the powershell-related tags should trigger that as the default formatting once it is implemented).
Jul 10, 2013 at 15:51 comment added Mgetz This should really be a feature request, it would dramatically improve readability on powershell questions
Feb 14, 2013 at 23:34 comment added Chase Florell @nhahtdh, you appear to be right. I wonder how hard the additional implementation would be.
Feb 14, 2013 at 23:33 comment added Chase Florell hmmm, @Linuxios, I'm not sure that will accomplish what I'm asking. This needs to be implemented on SO...
Feb 14, 2013 at 22:49 comment added Linuxios You can try putting it through another syntax highlighter like Pygments and copying the HTML. I make no guarantee that the sanitizer will like the HTML that comes out though.
Feb 14, 2013 at 20:59 comment added nhahtdh Doesn't seem that there is support for powershell.
Feb 14, 2013 at 19:51 comment added Arjan Last updated Aug 25 '11: list of supported languages.
