ChatZilla Source Highlighting

Pointless, but fun: ChatZilla Trunk source.

I've been playing around with CHIP, and managed to make a script that reads the source to ChatZilla, adds syntax highlighting (JavaScript only) and line numbers, and outputs everything. I then dynamically read in the processed files and add navigation with PHP.

It's sort-of a mini LXR, just for ChatZilla. Stuff I will hopefully do at some point:

• Stop it breaking binary files (example).
• Add syntax highlighting for shell scripts, makefiles, RDF, and XUL. CHIP already supports HTML, which should work for the last two.
• Fix CHIP so invalid code doesn't produce invalid HTML.
• Add some sort of search.
• Support something like LXR's ?raw=1 as an easy way to get the original source.

Edit: Done the first three. Search is complicated, and raw view requires two copies of the source to be uploaded, but that shouldn't be too hard.
