[edit] GeSHi Syntax Highlighting

[edit] GeSHi example

Entering the following:

<source lang="ruby">
# List all items of the given ActiveRecord type (one line each) and for each one show
# the specified fields
def list_all_quick(active_record_class, fields, separator = " - ")
  active_record_class.constantize.find(:all).each do | model |
    full_string = fields.inject("") do | str, field |
      str += "#{model.send(field)}" + separator unless model.send(field).blank?
      str
    end
    full_string.slice!(-separator.size..-1)
    puts full_string
  end
end
</source>

Would yield:

# List all items of the given ActiveRecord type (one line each) and for each one show
# the specified fields
def list_all_quick(active_record_class, fields, separator = " - ")
  active_record_class.constantize.find(:all).each do | model |
    full_string = fields.inject("") do | str, field |
      str += "#{model.send(field)}" + separator unless model.send(field).blank?
      str
    end
    full_string.slice!(-separator.size..-1)
    puts full_string
  end
end

[edit] Video Embedding

Just type:

{{#ev:SERVICE|VIDEO_ID|100}}

where:

• SERVICE is the name of the service (e.g. "youtube")
• VIDEO_ID is the ID of the video
• 100 is the width of the box in which the video will be embedded

so

{{#ev:youtube|6gmP4nk0EOE}}

yields:

[edit] Even easier YouTube embedding

Just enter the following:

{{youtube|ANiceLittleYouTubeVideo}}

where 'ANiceLittleYouTubeVideo' is the video ID of the video you want to embed.

So

{{youtube|PQbuyKUaKFo}}

yields:
