Borked up syntax highlighting (for a GitLab issue)

Posted by unknown user
Tags: syntax highlighting, xhtml

(1) This works okay:

typedef struct metres metres_t;

int       metres_get_value(metres_t *x);
metres_t *metres_add(metres_t *x, metres_t *y);
metres_t *metres_new(int value);
void      metres_delete(metres_t *x);

(2) This works badly:

  • typedef struct metres metres_t;

    int       metres_get_value(metres_t *x);
    
metres_t *metres_add(metres_t *x, metres_t *y);
    
metres_t *metres_new(int value);
    
void      metres_delete(metres_t *x);

(3) This works slightly better, but the list bullet is weird:

  • typedef struct metres metres_t;

int       metres_get_value(metres_t *x);
metres_t *metres_add(metres_t *x, metres_t *y);
metres_t *metres_new(int value);
void      metres_delete(metres_t *x);

    Seems to be doable with markdown by indenting a code block starting on the next line after a list marker (but gets used to get the same weird bottom-aligned list bullet):

    *
    ```c
    typedef struct metres metres_t;

    int       metres_get_value(metres_t *x);
    metres_t *metres_add(metres_t *x, metres_t *y);
    metres_t *metres_new(int value);
    void      metres_delete(metres_t *x);
    ```

    Result:

    • typedef struct metres metres_t;

int       metres_get_value(metres_t *x);
metres_t *metres_add(metres_t *x, metres_t *y);
metres_t *metres_new(int value);
void      metres_delete(metres_t *x);

        Yeah, that fixes the strange bullet alignment. I'm still not sure what's going on with example #2 though, it mangles the HTML in a weird way.

        Edit: if anyone happens on this through the site, I posted an explanation about example #2 in the GitLab issue: https://gitlab.com/tildes/tildes/issues/604#note_249337331
