Automatic Syntax Highlighting for gChat.
This plugin automatically detects when you type code whilst conversing with google talk, and adds syntax highlighting to it.
- Allows inline code blocks with `backticks`
- Detects code presence, and correct way to highlight said code.
- Has a manual control, for cases where the auto-detection fails.
- Optionally attach your own machine-learning server.
- Project page on github: https://github.com/pehrlich/GTalkSyntax
Important: You must reload your GMail tab after first installing this plugin. Once you do, any chat will auto-highlight code!

tsh
does not work
Don't think it works with new Google Hangouts
Pls allow to user change font size =(
way way way too many false positives.
Think it needs some more work. More sentences were highlighted automatically than code. The "text/code" mouseover didn't appear for some blocks. Highlighting seems to be a grey background, not colour (C/C++/python tested).
not bad *Obama face*
