[p2pu-dev] jsFiddle and Syntax Highlighting

[Piotr Zalewa]

I didn't knew about embed.ly

Here is the regexp part from urls.py responsible for embedded

# embedded
r'^(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/embedded/$'
r'^(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/embedded/(?P<tabs>.*)/(?P<skin>\w+)/$'
r'^(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/embedded/(?P<tabs>.*)/$'
r'^(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/(?P<version>\d+)/embedded/$'
r'^(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/(?P<version>\d+)/embedded/(?P<tabs>.*)/(?P<skin>\w+)/$'
r'^(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/(?P<version>\d+)/embedded/(?P<tabs>.*)/$' 
name='embedded_with_version_and_tabs'),
r'^(?P<author>\w+)/(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/embedded/$'
r'^(?P<author>\w+)/(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/embedded/(?P<tabs>.*)/(?P<skin>\w+)/$'
r'^(?P<author>\w+)/(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/embedded/(?P<tabs>.*)/$'
r'^(?P<author>\w+)/(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/(?P<version>\d+)/embedded/$'
r'^(?P<author>\w+)/(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/(?P<version>\d+)/embedded/(?P<tabs>.*)/(?P<skin>\w+)/$'
r'^(?P<author>\w+)/(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/(?P<version>\d+)/embedded/(?P<tabs>.*)/$'

Names are explained in http://doc.jsfiddle.net/use/embedding.html
