Description Jesse Glick 2002-06-07 18:38:05 UTC 
Suggest action added to context menu of NB editor
for all MIME types, active when there is a
selected region. Would scan that region for editor
syntax highlighting information (i.e. token
boundaries). Would then generate HTML which
formats that code snippet inside <pre> tags,
escaping '&' etc., with <font class="..."> tags
wrapped around tokens to highlight them. Resulting
HTML would be copied to clipboard for pasting into
an HTML document.

Would be nice to have a reverse action, active
when selected region is inside <pre> tags: strip
out any HTML tags and deescape '&amp;' etc., then
copy to clipboard for pasting back into code samples.

See URL for an example impl in Emacs.

Use: people creating documents using netbeans.css
to include code samples (Java, XML, ...).

Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2004-03-30 13:42:07 UTC 
Probably giving up on this. Editor has a Save as HTML action, so you
can presumably do some search-and-replace on the result to produce a
netbeans.org-friendly snippet. Or, you can just use Emacs and it's easy.

He, he, he, you can use emacs for any(and every)thing.
