Support on code blocks for different languages

Related products:CC Knowledge Base

We wanted to raise an idea to support on code blocks for different languages, such as: Yaml, Python, HTML, Bash, Powershell, etc...

 

For example: this is one of our articles with code blocks which published on Zendesk:

https://colonysupport.quali.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001632548-The-Blueprint-YAML-File#h_01EMEDV2PY9K7PZ17B85BVK1FW

 

The same article which published on the Insided platform: 

https://quali-eu-community.insided.com/developing-blueprints-61/the-blueprint-yaml-file-307

 

 

We think this feature will upgrade the convenience for programmers and code readers for a specific language and also the visibility of the articles.

Thanks for sharing this idea @tal.m! We do already offer code blocks with formatting for HTML, Bash, and Python - are these okay for you in their current form, or are you missing something around them.

We indeed don’t have support for Yaml or Powershell at the moment, however.

Also tagging a related question from @Kseniya:

Definitely seconding the recommendation for Powershell! All of our scripts for our product will need to be in Powershell and they currently can’t set that as a language.

I’ll add to this, being a tech forum we have a lot of users who post code!  I’d try to explain what is needed, but I this this post probably explains it way better than I can!

@A11ey  & @Brittany from Automox 

There’s a current conversation about the community’s next content editor requirements:

https://community.insided.com/platform-research-60/feedback-wanted-help-us-improve-our-content-editor-experience-6187

One of my requests is that the next platform allow customers to add custom programming languages to the code block feature. This could be existing languages like PowerShell or proprietary ones like my company’s network query script. The link A11ey shared highlight’s another potential custom code language for log files and other output that requires specific formatting. 

If you have opinions on how you’d like the next editor to handle code, I encourage you to complete the survey in the conversation I mentioned above.

I am unable to access the link for that survey but adding that our company has a need to share YAML configured code. Improving the content editor experience would go a long way in this.
