Syntax highlighting

[sametmax]

Code highlighting is already supported (see: http://0bin.net/paste/3f3d571410ab9e7abb52081d4c525b03f4068224#R4jRi3uXj+B9/+MiNOcrfpnX9S31oaH0rD9JzB3j1WU=)

We can't use something more advanced such as pygments since it's a server side technology and the server doesn't have access to the paste content.

What's more, it's really important that a person can just do the bare minimum to create a paste. Selecting a specific language to highlight the matching syntax is an additional step.

Fair enough on Pygments.

Now that I've pasted a few more things I see that 0bin's syntax highlighting is damn near broken. It does it for flat file databases used for various configuration files for Linux for instance, and sometimes chooses the wrong language.

I'd much rather there is a two-step process that actually works, plain text being the default. Retain the 'Upload File' option though, that is a very neat idea.

Semi-unrelated: is encoding maintained or is it 'converted' to UTF-8 when you upload files?

I'm ok with syntax hilighting being less than perfect. It's not a coding tool, and it's not meant to be something list gist and it's important to me to have a 'one clic => pasted' workflow. But if we can find a way to include it without adding too much to the UI, we can add the option to force a language syntax and use a more serious highlither.

Encoding is untouched because I don't know a way to detect encoding from copy / paste or upload.
