It depends how much the rules can be edited; I’m unclear how the rules are edited. Can you clarify a bit @david in the first post?

I’m afraid at the moment the rules can’t be edited. The sensitivity can be adjusted, and html detection can be turned on/off.

There are some built-in rules which should help with these. If you’d like to try it out, try posting some code in a PM to yourself here on Meta.

However, I think the example you posted is unlikely to be detected, since it doesn’t contain any special characters or timestamps which match our detection patterns.

The original vision I had was for a component where you could specify how much “energy” a given character (or complete string, such as C:\) adds, especially as that character (or string) begins repeating in the same nearby area over and over, multiplying the code energy score.

Sensors:
  System Temperatures: cpu: 78.0 C mobo: 36.0 C gpu: nouveau temp: 56.0 C 
  Fan Speeds (RPM): cpu: 0 fan-1: 3139 fan-3: 0 fan-5: 0 
  Power: 12v: N/A 5v: 2.90 3.3v: N/A vbat: 3.34

This is rather colon heavy. So ideally if you wanted to tweak this, you’d set an energy level for the colon, and a repetition bonus.

I guess that is not possible at the moment, it is unfortunate all the rules are hard-coded.

Just to clarify @tmomas’s note - We use a custom version of this plugin with some additional code-matching patterns not in the stock version. We also added a bit of user-interface to add (albeit unchecked and with much caution), custom regex patterns. Refs:
