What's new

2026-07-22: A changelog, a feedback button, and a clearer theme switch

Three small things:
  1. This page! The full history of changes now lives here instead of an ever-growing box on the front page, which now just shows the latest few.
  2. A little thumbs up/down in the top corner so you can tell me what you think of the recent changes with one click. Totally anonymous, just two counters.
  3. The dark/light switch now says "Theme" so it is actually findable, and auto-detect now recognises Visual Basic and VB.NET pastes.

2026-07-20: Popular languages page and a privacy note

Added a popular languages page showing what people highlight here most, over the last day through to a year. The counters are completely anonymous (one number per language per day, nothing else), and the same page now carries a proper privacy note spelling out exactly what this site does and does not keep. Also a round of polish: rounded corners on the inputs, better spacing, a character and line counter, and the two info panels tidied up.

2026-07-19: Output formats, dark mode, and phone support

The promised UI work has started landing:
  1. New output formats! After highlighting, tabs above the HTML Code box give you HTML with CSS classes, BBCode for forums, Markdown, and proper RTF (with a download button) for Word and friends. The old panes and buttons are all exactly where they were.
  2. Dark mode. Follows your system setting, or use the toggle in the top corner.
  3. The site now works properly on phones, the changelog is tidier, and things are faster again under the hood thanks to some caching added last week.
  4. Renamed the "Highlighted RTF" pane to "Styled preview", since that is what it always was; actual RTF now comes from the RTF tab.
More polish to come. Anything odd, let me know.
