Chili – The jQuery Plugin for Highlighting Code

I’ve setup a GitHub account for Chili, so that anyone interested in forging the NEXT version can easily join and contribute.

I’m still new to git, but I hope I have prepared a usable setup for development.

What follows is version 2.2 content. It’s a bit outdated, but still useful. (to be updated)

   Just letting you know that the regex for CSS has a problem

   #this_is_valid

   #this-is-also-valid

   The second example does not work. It only higlights #this. Same goes for CSS classes.

   Great script anyways! I’m loving it.

   Cheers
