Currently the syntax highlighter doesn't seem to be so good. It requires a few tweaks.
Tweaks
- Modify the implementation of the syntax highlighter to speed the process up
- Prevent the syntax-highlighter from immediately firing up whenever an user stops entering something ( I guess that's how it works! ) - This seems to be preventing the user from immediately deleting the characters he types which would be frustrating (at least users who don't have high-capacity devices)
Optional
- Allow users to turn off syntax highlighting as it may help users of low end devices to edit articles without the syntax highlighter coming in their way
- In case this is implemented, users could be reported of syntax issues when trying to save articles
