Prop code in sniptastic

I am a dedicated user of Evernote. They recently announced integration with a application called sniptastic http://www.sniptastic.com/ It looks like a good way to organize and share code. I already do so in Evernote, but sniptastic offers to preserve formatting. Of course, I immediately sent this message to the sniptastic forum:

I learned about you project from Evernote. I would appreciate it if you could support the spin language, used on Propeller microcontrollers http://www.parallax.com/tabid/407/Default.aspx It is becoming very popular in the embedded controller community. The integrated development environment makes very good use of text formatting and color.

And, perhaps not surprisingly, received this reply:

Hi, Bob. Welcome to the Sniptastic! community!

I took a look at Propeller and it's very neat. However, Spin appears to be a somewhat niche programming language.

I currently use SyntaxHighlighter for text coloring, and as far as I know, nobody has created a brush for Spin. If you need this done quickly, the best thing to do would be to create a custom brush and send it to me. I would be happy to incorporate it into Sniptastic! Otherwise, unless a big demand develops for it, this may have to wait a while.

Thanks for the request.

Niche, indeed! Is anyone out there familiar with SyntaxHighlighter and willing to take on the brush creation task?

If my google-fu is working it seems that SyntaxHighLighter is a Javascript based highlighter.

So not exactly what you're asking for, but a good starting point: Phil Pilgrim created a Spin Editor in Javascript, with syntax highlighting: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?132690-HTML-based-Propeller-IDE-now-with-auto-completion.

Here you go. I made this over a year ago. Just send this code to Sniptastic people, and they should be able to add Spin easily. It is very basic, but should be a good start

<script type='text/javascript'>
SyntaxHighlighter.brushes.Spin = function()

    this.regexList = [

        {regex: /'.*/g,css:'comments'},
        {regex: /{.*}/gm,css:'comments'},
        { regex: /"(?!")(?:\.|\\\"|[^\"\n])*"/gm, 					css: 'string' },
        { regex: new RegExp(this.getKeywords(keywords), 'gm'), 		css: 'keyword' },
        { regex: new RegExp(this.getKeywords(special), 'gm'), 		css: 'color3' }
        ];



	this.forHtmlScript(SyntaxHighlighter.regexLib.aspScriptTags);

};



SyntaxHighlighter.brushes.Spin.prototype  = new SyntaxHighlighter.Highlighter();

SyntaxHighlighter.brushes.Spin.aliases    = ['spin'];





SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;
SyntaxHighlighter.config.clipboardSwf = 'http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/scripts/clipboard.swf';
SyntaxHighlighter.all();
</script>

Message received! I'm the creator of Sniptastic!, and I found this forum by Googling.

Thanks for the code, Andrey. I will incorporate this into Sniptastic! and include it in an upcoming release. Changes are announced on the Sniptastic! forum (http://forum.sniptastic.com/) and Twitter account (@sniptasticnews).

Spin language support is now supported in Sniptastic! You can add Spin snippets from the Web UI and editor plugins, as well as filter and sort by Spin where relevant.

Thank you, Andrey, for your contribution.
