Working directory tree highlighting

[ozlerhakan]

Hi @isagalaev,

Probably, this purpose will not be provided by highlight.js since it deals with concrete language definitions. Considering this case, we just created a new language definition for tree structures. Perhaps, anyone can make use of it and contribute: https://github.com/asciidocfx/highlight-treeview.js

I remember a page with third-party software that uses highlight.js was hosted on @isagalaev site. I think we can recreate such page in docs and mention highlight-treeview.js there.

Sounds good @Sannis

[isagalaev]

@ozlerhakan is it in any way related to https://github.com/Golmote/prism-treeview?

[ozlerhakan]

The implementation of the treeview is not directly related at all. We implemented it from scratch. We only took data:urls (icons) from that site. We can mention it as "a tree structure for prims".

[Sannis]

Looking deeper this cannot be simply merged now due to data URLs for icons. Maybe we can come back after styles reorganisation in #348.

[isagalaev]

Just to confirm, I also think it would be useful to have it as a language: people do often display directory structures along with code snippets. I don't have an easy solution as to where put those icons either. They probably have to live in a separate style and we could document it somewhere.

[Sannis]

Yes, we can look how this language looks without any styles and make decision.

Anyway, I'll not close any issues with on hold label.

So… I was thinking about this idea lately and it still feels to me like a bit of a stretch to bundle a very special case with a very special CSS along with the library. So I think we could just live with it being a nice derivative project until a better idea comes up.

@ozlerhakan thanks for doing this anyway!
