GeSHi «

GeSHi is a PHP library for producing syntax highlighted code on the fly. It was created largely through trial and error back in 2004, and has gone from humble beginnings to being the definitive syntax highlighting solution for PHP, and by extension, many different software products like DokuWiki, Mambo and Joomla!. Many more software products provide a GeSHi plugin, such as Xoops, Wordpress and MediaWiki. GeSHi has been packaged by Debian and now pushes close to 100 downloads a day.

I have given up working on GeSHi, and have handed off the reins to Benny Baumann, who has always shown interest in the project. Where the project goes from here is up to him. It was a great way for me to get into the open source world, but now I cannot give it the attention it deserves.

I got it through the first 70,000 downloads. May it live on for 70,000 more!
