Description Simon Sobisch 2023-01-11 13:27:15 UTC 
reading text with syntax highlighting can help to faster understand the code's purpose / context

Would it be possible to add a optional dependency to frameworks-syntax-highlighting?

Some people may prefer using it with "plain text view" as it is now, both this and the possibility that the code uses the wrong highlighter (for example in the bison/flex case where you may want to switch between those and c/cpp) could be worked around with a dropdown in the sourceview or a menu entry to switch the language.
