pushed my own paste update - svg, html, plain text, download. Also experimenting with a different button order and hiding some buttons until editing. if anything's annoying, weird, broken, or otherwise unsatisfactory, please tell me

I guess that rules out merging?

@Wezl I'd want to tweak things anyway, and getting it in a mergable state in the first place would take work as you yourself noted

@dzaima suggestion: use codemirror and have a single tab for edit&view (with syntax highlighting)

@ngn does codemirror have BQN syntax highlighting? :)

@dzaima i bet it doesn't :)

well there you go

but it has for all the other languages you support

@ngn its APL highlighting is pretty unsatisfactory. I prefer full control over how coloring is done anyways, and it allows doing the fancy embedded HTML/SVG stuff

anyways gtg for ~15mins

ok, never mind

it's listed first, so you'd think it would be something to be proud of :)

@Wezl that's the built-in one. indeed, that one is not great. i'm not sure if dzaima meant that or ride or both.

"not great" because it doesn't support the intricacies of apl/dyalog syntax, but otherwise may be ok for a paste, i'm not sure

@ngn the most important thing to me is that it doesn't differentiate fns/mops/dops

I may at some point pull in some generic highlighting library, but not a dynamic editor. As the name implies, paste is for pasting stuff, not editing

@dzaima oh maybe it does, but that list of operators is pretty tiny (it would be pretty easy to update, but still; also i don't know how well it'd do with me wanting separate themes for APL and BQN)

I like paste as an alternative to something like carbon that supports APL+BQN

CMC: implement LLL lattice reduction

@dzaima how do you highlight bqn now?

@ngn manually

that's not a lot of code

@ngn did you want more? :)

@dzaima no, i mean it should be easy to turn into a codemirror language mode

@ngn yeah

@dzaima You could highlight parens and braces based on their syntactic role if you felt like writing a parser...

for comparison - ride

@rak1507 it also gives quite shorter links, useful for SE's limit of 500 (910 chars→292 for its default example)

@ngn whoa that's a bit of code! lol

@dzaima what algorithm? zip?

@ngn same thing TIO used - pako, which is zlib. I meant to experiment with different compression algorithms, but never did

i went for huffman in ngn.bitbucket.io/k (i think i've mentioned it before)

@ngn for the same carbon example, 387 vs paste's 256 (just taking the portion after # and excluding =s)

@dzaima yes, i'll have to switch to pako

topaz paste (known from being recommended by AoC) with lzma is 306, though i've seen it be better than pako on a bigger input

I like the carbon custom font option, but it only makes sense for exporting images bc links with fonts embedded are going to be huge

or maybe I could add it to paste by asking for a link to a font somewhere on the interwebs, so it's linked, not embedded
