GitHub Markdown NodeJS (`ghm`) - node.js

I am using https://github.com/thomblake/github-flavored-markdown. Works but when I delimit code like:
```javascript
some code here ...
```
Theres no syntax hilighting, do I need to include something? Like CSS or something? I could use another library of course, but that will defeat the purpose of the ```javascript part?

It certainly looks like the pygments.css file in the distribution under shared/css/ is necessary for syntax highlighting to be displayed. Assuming you're serving the results to a browser, you should probably be serving all of shared as static files.

Is there anyway to sanitize SVG file in c#, any libraries anything?

Is there anyway to sanitize SVG file in c#, any libraries anything?
From client side we are sanitizing the SVG files while uploading , but the security team is asking for a sanitization in serverside too.
I'm primarily a Python developer, but I thought I'd throw some research into the issue for ya. I used to develop for C, so I thought I should at least have a basic understanding of what's going on.
*.SVG files are structured like XML documents, and use the HTML DOM to access JavaScript and CSS functionalities. Trying to enumerate and script out every single catch for potential JavaScript-based security issues doesn't seem realistic, so personally, I'd just entirely remove all JavaScript sectors that do anything more than define simple variables, do math operations, or reference already-defined visual elements from any uploaded *.SVG files.
Since *.SVG files are based on XML and are human-readable, this could be accomplished by iterating through the file either line-by-line like a text file or element-by-element like an XML or HTML file. You'd want to go through and remove all the JavaScript scripts that don't meet the above criteria, save it & then convert it to XML and use a standard XML-sanitation library on it, and then convert that back to *.SVG. I reckon this Github library and this StackOverflow thread could be helpful in that.
I hope my response was helpful!
It is true what your security team say: client-side security is not security. It is just user convenience. Never rely on client-side checks. Anyone wanting to do bad things to your application will bypass client-side checks first thing.
Now, a SVG file can be used in a XSS attack only by leveraging the <script> tag.
Unfortunately, defusing/securing a script is a very complicated topic and prone to errors and both false positives and negatives.
So, I believe your only recourse is to remove scripts altogether. This might not be what you need.
But, if it is, then it's very simple to do. The script tag cannot be masqueraded inside the SVG, or the browser will not recognize it in the first place, making the attack moot. So a simple regex should suffice. Something like,
cleanSVGcode = Regex.Replace(
userSVGcode,
#"<script.*?script>",
#"",
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase|RegexOptions.SingleLine
);
It is possible to sanitize out further sequences. Since, if they're written incorrectly or in an obfuscated way, javascript calls won't work, the number of these sequences is limited.
#"javascript:" => #"syntax:error:"

Node.js & Express: template engine for plain html code

Using Node.js and express in a MEAN environment, I am looking for a simple and straightforward template engine, meeting these requirements:
does not dictate me to only use its own weird syntax but allows me to keep writing webpages using pure/plain html and js
supports conditional includes
works with express
operates on server-side (Node.js/Express)
executes freakin' fast ;)
Basically I just want to slice my webpage into several modules (e. g. header, footer, ...) and include those now and then based on simple conditions. I don't want to entirely (re-)rebuild all webpages using a proprietary template language but rather prepare a few html modules that I concatenate at runtime (comparable to PHP where I just use the include instruction to paste prepared html code).
I had a look at http://garann.github.io/template-chooser/ and https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/wiki/modules#templating but the sites seem outdated and according to them, there ain't no template engine available fully meeting my requirements!?
Suggestions anyone?
I think ejs is more natural for what you are looking for https://scotch.io/tutorials/use-ejs-to-template-your-node-application, but jade can work also. The example in the link uses partials, which you dont need to use if ur just rendering a single page

How to load CSS from library when using 'require'

I’m building an electron app. In it, I have a webview with a preload script. Inside said script, I’d like to use sweetalert.
I installed sweetalert with npm install --save sweetalert. Inside my script I load it with require('sweetalert') and call it with swal("Hello world!");. I now notice it doesn’t look right, as the alert is missing its required CSS file. But I’m loading it with require('sweetalert'), which is great since sweetalert can just remain in its directory inside node_modules and I don’t have to care for it, but its CSS is an integral part of it, and is not getting pulled the same way.
Now, what is the recommended way of solving this? Keep in mind I’m inside a javascript file and would like to remain that way. Do I really have to go get the CSS file and inject it in some way? And how would I do it correctly, since it is inside node_modules? After testing it, it seems like it can’t be done in this particular case due to Content Security Policy.
Either way, that seems so clunky in comparison to the require statement, it’d seem weird for a simpler solution to not be available.
You'll have to include it like you would normally do in a browser, for example in index.html. Copy it out of the module folder into your css folder if you have one and link it with the link tag. It depends on if you're using plain electron or some other boilerplate template with there is a gulp/grunt workflow on where to stick it but that's it really, electron is just a browser that's running your JS/html so it's really the exact same process. require only loads the JS module but not the styles.
if you wanted to include it dynamically you could use the same techniques as a regular browser for example (ex. document.write/create element).
I'm not familiar with sweetalert, but hopefully this helps.
Your syntax for require should be something similar to this.
var sweetalert = require('sweetalert')
You should then be able to access methods on the sweetalert object using the following syntax.
sweetalert.someMethod()
Remember requiring just returns a javascript object. Those objects usually have methods that will allow certain functionality. If you want to add sweetalert to your page, you will either need to inject it within the html, or the javascript within the sweetalert module will need to dynamically create html where the css is included. I hope that clarifies some things and helps you get a better sense of some of the inner workings.

Use gulp to copy part of a text/html file?

I'm looking for something like gulp-html-replace but instead of replacing what's in between the
Will be useful for modifying html documents.
I think you're asking the wrong question. If you have a consistent part (content) present in multiple html documents, you should be using a server side language to generate the html pages. That way you can create partials and modularize them to be included in multiple pages so when you change it once the change can be reflected.
If this is somehow not an option (for whatever reason) you should consider looking at something like handlebars
Also if the content is fairly static, most modern editors will allow you to search / replace in multiple files, there should be no reason to use gulp for what you are describing.
That being said try gulp-inject

ExpressionEngine file manager - default to thumbnail view

At the moment when you go to select an image inside an entry using the EE default file manager, the default view is 'show files as a list'.
Is there a way to show the thumbnail view as the default?
At this point I would be happy with a core hack.
I don't usually use the file manager for sites (much prefer Assets) but this client had a tight budget
I've wondered about doing this in the past as well - turns out it's pretty simple. Open up ee_filebrowser.js and search for the first instance of a("#dir_choice").val(). Immediately after that add this:
; a("#view_type").val('thumb').change();
Make sure you include the leading ;.
I've only tested this in Safari but I can't see why it wouldn't work everywhere. Incidentally, JS beautifier makes this sort of thing infinitely easier.
I don't recommend hacking core for any reason and I suggest it should be avoided at all cost.
With that said, I will provide what I've found out just the same.
Looks like the following files, in EE 2.5.3, are what you'd want to edit:
/themes/javascript/compressed/jquery/plugins/ee_filebrowser.js
/system/expressionengine/libraries/File_field.php
I found these doing a file search in my text editor for view_type which was from the id of that dropdown. The javascript is minified so you'd probably want to un-minify it and then rewrite the part which handles the switch. I'm not the best JS/jQuery person out there, and un-minified js makes it a bit harder too so, I won't offer any more than what I've found so far.
Consider pulling out the parts parts from the two files if you aren't great with js and maybe start a new post tagged accordingly.
Also note: there might be more to this than just those two files so consider this answer a start and nothing more.
