Tutorial writing app?

Post by matt1019 »

Hi guys,

Long time no posts! Been a very busy semester + work! :?

I would like to know if there is already a php script out there that will allow you to:
write Tutorials
manage tutorials
users can comment on tutorials
forum functionality
of course, with a login system....
etc etc etc... [the whole 9 yrds]

By tutorial writing, I am specifically looking for something like what our phpbb forum addon does (Syntax dropdown list when you are posting a new topic)

I would like to write some tutorials on Java, C++, and few others, so having a syntax functionality will be very useful.

Thanks,

-Matt

Ya, I use GeShi myself; however, I suggest saving the GeShi output due to the fact it's EXTREMELY slow for longer code snippets.
