add syntax highlighting

[gerbenvandijk]

Slack usually let's you set a syntax for snippets, perhaps this is possible with the plugin as well?

Thanks, super useful plugin!

[gerbenvandijk]

And linenumbers corresponding to the actual ones would be amazing

currently there is no way to beautify input via snippets. The API only allows attachments or pre-text unfortunately. For the line numbers, I'm not sure what you mean, it currently does display the lines selected within the file?

@b-sharpe I yeah that would be really if there were some kind of syntax highlighting option (Integrate Markdown support?). As for the line numbers I think @gerbenvandijk had something like in the attached screenshot in mind (which would also be really cool to have)

Snippet styled with Markdown

public function sendToSlack($message)
{
    $this->submit($message);
}

PhpStorm screenshot: line numbers.

@Nguimjeu @qikkeronline Unfortunately inline line numbers and code formatting are not something you can do via a incoming webhook, basically you are bound to what can be done here: https://api.slack.com/docs/messages/builder

The file types link is for attaching actual files via https://api.slack.com/methods/files.upload which is using the Web API + OAuth rather than webhooks

Clear, thanks for explaining @b-sharpe 👍
