Adding new languages
Anyone can add a new language support by:
- adding a XWiki java component: implementing HighlightParser interface component. See Component Module for more details on how to write component for the new XWiki 2.0 architecture
- the default org.xwiki.rendering.parser.HighlightParser is based on Pygments so the best for both projects is probably to provide a new syntax parser to Pygments project. See http://pygments.org/contribute/.
