RSS feed for the FlexWiki namespace

Site Work Item Source Code In Separate Namespace

Description

Having the FlexWiki source code available is nice, but having it in the same namespace as the rest of the content makes searches significantly more cluttered with false positives.

Since code lines can get quite long, the search results are also very wide to match the longest line of code, which makes the regular site contents quite unreadable.

E.g. of source code: http://www.flexwiki.com/default.aspx/FlexWiki.FlexWikiSourceDatabase_DIR_EngineSource__BasePage_cs

Example

Search for a term like "system" or "write" that is common in both code and site content.

Discussion

If the source code is moved to another namespace, you might be able to add support for namespace-specific CSS which would render all content as code. Right now the source code renders pretty inconsistently:

 using System;


 namespace foo
 {
        class bar
        {
                private int quux;


                public int Quux { get; set; }
        }
 }
