Bot Description
Name: CodeFormatter Bot
Overview:
The CodeFormatter Bot is a Discord bot designed to enhance readability and clarity in text-based code sharing. It ensures that code snippets shared in Discord channels are correctly formatted with proper syntax highlighting. The bot intelligently detects code snippets in messages and applies formatting rules based on the context.
Features:
1. Plain Text Code Detection:
- Detects raw code snippets shared as plain text without any formatting.
- Automatically wraps the detected code in a code block (
```
) and applies syntax highlighting based on the detected programming language.
2. Code Block Without Syntax:
- Detects code blocks that do not specify a language (e.g.,
```
without a language identifier). - Analyzes the code, detects the programming language, and re-applies the code block with the correct syntax highlighting.
3. Code Block With Syntax:
- If a message already contains a code block with a specified language, the bot does nothing, respecting the user's original formatting.
4. No Code:
- Ignores messages that do not contain code or cannot be classified into a known programming language.
5. Attachments:
- Ignores files attached to messages, such as
.txt
or.js
files, focusing exclusively on text content within the message.
Use Cases:
1. Programming Communities:
- Ideal for servers where developers collaborate, ensuring code is easy to read and understand.
2. Education:
- Helps students or teachers sharing code snippets during discussions by automatically formatting them.
3. General Use:
- Useful in any server where users occasionally share code snippets, avoiding confusion caused by unformatted text.
