User blog comment:Kirkburn/Syntax highlighting - helping you read and write code/@comment-452-20150309183916

This sounds like an awesome feature! Thank you for planning to make it optional via user preference.

Initial feedback before even using it: The CSS-style font-color highlighting looks a lot better than the wikitext background-color highlighting.

Related suggestion: I don't know if it's feasible (due to the extra communication with the server), but marking red links as red in the editor would be handy.
