Another heuristic would be to include ^diff to match diffs. ... Except, diff isn't one of the supported formats!

| Nov 15, 2014 at 19:10 | comment | added | Wilfred Hughes | @Gilles do you have a link to that feature request? Also, it's interesting to note that there is syntax highlighting when using the Android SE app. | |
| Oct 23, 2014 at 4:58 | comment | added | nispio | It has been a while. Any status updates? | |
| Oct 9, 2014 at 15:42 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @Malabarba This is already a feature request. I'll go and prod Jon. | |

| Oct 9, 2014 at 15:30 | comment | added | Malabarba | Now that we're public, should we open a feature request on this? | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 15:41 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @JonathanLeech-Pepin Yes, I understood you the first time. We need to convince the SE staff to activate the feature. They need to add a line to the configuration file for the site or whatever it is they do. | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 15:35 | comment | added | Jonathan Leech-Pepin | @Gilles I mean turning it on at all. Currently it does not work even when the language tag is included. In this case since at least a decent portion of code-blocks will be code and not buffer examples, enabling the option would be useful. | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 15:33 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @JonathanLeech-Pepin We demonstrate the need, then someone from the Stack Exchange staff turns it on. I don't know how obvious they consider this case. It could help if we had some stats regarding the proportion of code blocks that are Lisp code. | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 15:31 | comment | added | Jonathan Leech-Pepin | What does it take to have it activated for the site (be it with or without a default language)? | |

@asmeurer Cide blocks in languages other than Lisp rarely start with ; or (. Of course it's not perfect but that's the definition of a heuristic.

| Sep 24, 2014 at 19:44 | comment | added | asmeurer | I suspect it may be wrong more often than you'd think. If someone has a code block of text they are editing, to show an example of what they are trying to do, it most likely won't be emacs lisp. | |

I agree with that rule. In the presence of a language-specific tag, e.g. c++ or javascript, we could fall back to that language, though.
