GeSHI and Composr 10

I'm hoping you might have some insight on this since you're running Composr (v10?)…
Many years ago I had a website (no longer in existence ) running ocPortal v9. I've recently inherited a site running phpBB that I'm planning on moving to Composr v10. I will be importing the phpBB forum into Composr's forum and need code syntax highlighting. On the v9 site I had GeSHI working. On v10 I'm stuggling to figure out how to get it working. I have the geshi addon installed but I'm not having any luck seeing any syntax highlighting result. According to Composr (https://compo.sr/docs/tut-adv-comcode.htm#title__7) this is what's used ( "language" = placeholder for language name used) :
[codebox=language]the code goes here[/codebox]
Thanks in advance!

Based on https://compo.sr/downloads/entry/addons/version-10/information-display/geshi.htm, it looks like you'd need to surround the language with quotes, which you didn't do in your example here. It seems obvious, but did you try doing that?
The current official Composr forums are located at https://composr.app/forum/. Both of the main developers are quite busy in their personal lives right now, but it may not hurt to ask your question there.
Otherwise, I do think I have a test Composr installation on another machine, so while I can't get to this immediately, I'll try installing GeSHI there within the next day or two to see what happens.

The quotes for some reason wouldn't display properly here so I omitted them. But yes, I've tried enclosing it with quotes on my test server. I'll keep playing with it and see if I can eventually make it work. I have a feeling that addon was never updated for v10. If I am finally able to get it working, I'll follow up with a post here if you don't beat me to it.
I've been a member on the ocPortal/Composr forum for about 14 years. Since the new site is not very active (you and I are the only non-staff posting there), and since both Chris and Patrick are scarce I thought I'd see if you had any hands on with it. Patrick keeps giving me his sales pitch, and also suggesting I use v11 instead of v10, so I don't get much help like I used to on the prior forum.
P.S. I just finished watching your RedHat unboxing video from 2023, and I had to chuckle when you were disappointed there was no hat. Back in the pure RedHat days before Fedora Core, I received a hat from RedHat. It was a gift they mailed to me for buying a boxed RedHat cd set. That was somewhere around RedHat 5 or 6. I think I finally tossed it out about a year ago.
Back in the day, I used to be the nerd everyone came to for computer help. Now, at my age, I've forgotten most of it since I don't mess with a lot of that stuff any more. Watching your videos bring back some good memories.
Thanks again for your help.

[code numbers="1" param="language" scroll="1"]
the code goes here
[/code]
Replace "language" with the name of language file (ex. "php", or "xml", or "make" )
"numbers" turns line numbers on/off (1/0)
"scroll" turns scroll on/off (1/0)
All values are enclosed in double quotes ( " " ).
Maybe this will help out someone in the future.
