Hello admins,
Would you split "Scripting questions" into  "Python" and "Script-Fu"? Any icon for Script-Fu?Could we have colored syntax for these two languages? How? Regards.

Don't know if the admins have access to the server, and source code of the MyBB forum and/or can install packages, but I did found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_QhG-uAUS4 by googling "colored python syntax with html" It can also be done with Javascript as well ➤ an example like there https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_sy...hlight.asp (it needs to be adapted to python syntax, though) Or include an external highlighter like the Google prettify https://github.com/googlearchive/code-prettify or here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5484...a-web-page Over all it might be a bit of work depending the solution and the possibilities than MyBB allows, in the end I don't know if there is a real need as you can copy/past in your favorite text editor like Atom which will highlight your preferred syntax, but would it be cool to have it? I would say ➤ it's always nice to have features  EDIT: I di few more searches and discovered that MyBB forum do have a plugin for that https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?acti...w&pid=1118 which should simplify the process, but I don't know if admins can have enough rights to implement it, or not.

1) Definitely not. Scripting questions are mostly about the API, and it is mostly the same between the two languages, so many questions/answers apply to both languages. This also makes a few Python converts along the way ("What? There is a modern and usable programming language for scripts?"). If you provide me with a decent icon for Scheme (16x16 PNG) I'll add it to the post label icons.
2) We aren't StackOverflow, coding questions are a teeny-weensy part of the forum (2.5% by thread count, under 1% by postc count), and answers are normally a small bit of code. Plus From Pixlab answers there is no Lisp/Scheme highlighting.

OTOH, if one is using script-fu in 2021+, then one is likely a "functional programming aficionado". (self included)
