gTalk Syntax Highlighting: Automatic Syntax Highlighting for gChat
gTalk Syntax Highlighting is a Chrome add-on developed by pehrlich. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This free plugin aims to enhance your Google Talk experience by automatically detecting and applying syntax highlighting to any code you type during conversations.
The plugin offers several useful features. Firstly, it allows you to use inline code blocks with backticks, making it easier to distinguish code snippets within your chat messages. Additionally, it accurately detects the presence of code and applies the appropriate syntax highlighting automatically. In cases where the auto-detection fails, there is a manual control available for you to manually highlight the code.
Please note that after installing the plugin, it is necessary to reload your Gmail tab for it to take effect. Once you do so, any chat you have will automatically have code highlighted. The latest releaseintroduces various improvements, including a copy to clipboard feature, a link to the plugin, and compatibility with the "Pictures in chat" labs extension being turned off. The options page also includes a donate button, toggle switch, and a fork banner. Additionally, Google analytics is implemented for click events. All these updates are accompanied by a visually appealing new icon.
With gTalk Syntax Highlighting, you can effortlessly add syntax highlighting to code snippets in your Google Talk conversations, making them more readable and easier to understand.
