Swift highlighting in Confluence code macro?

[Mike Rathwell]

I have been trying, to no avail, to add Swift to the list of languages in Confluence. I've looked for all variants I can FIND for the brush but none seem to "take" (Confluence 6.8.2)

Has anyone had success in recent times adding a brush to the code macro and, if so, what changes to default js files did they need to make?

All I get is that it's not a valid language file and consult the application logs. There is nothing in the logs. It just... fails.

Hi Mike,

First of all, we have a feature request for this:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-38596

Secondly, there is a discussion on this thread that mentions capitalizing the brush. Have you tried this? 

Regards,

I did NOT try that... I'll give that a shot...

Mike,

Thank you for letting me know! Do let us know how it goes. :)

Nope... no soap. Was a good thought but... <sigh>

The brush I am trying to add is this one https://github.com/syntaxhighlighter/brush-swift/blob/master/brush.js

Do I need to alter that (other than the capitalization?)

Hi Mike,

I'm not familiar enough with javascript to know if that script needs any modifications, but it's worth trying.

I found this document on creating your own brushes, if you wanted to review it and give it a try. I found it referenced on this old question from Atlassian Answers.
