Entering code examples
I hope this type of question is appropriate here.
I had a time entering some code examples in a reply I just made. Is there some trick to entering code snippets? It seems to me that the parser in this forum behaves very differently from a normal PunBB forum.
I made a reply on this forum and made a similar test reply at PunBB.
On this forum, what I cut and pasted had problems rendering line breaks using the code tag, if I added pre, it stripped away anything between ‘<’ and ‘>’ from the sample code. I had to physically remove any extra characters from the beginning and end of the pasted code lines. In the PunBB forum, it rendered just fine wrapped with bbcode.
Also notice the last line of ‘Hope that helps’, no matter how many blank lines I put between that line and the code, it still displayed it bumped up to the code.
Thanks.

Re: Entering code examples
You have to start the the blocks with a p. to force it to create a new paragraph.
Pre and Code definitely don’t seem to play well together though
as an example, without pre
<code>
<strong> some text</strong>
<em> second line </em>
</code>
Code block wrapped in pre
<pre>
<code>
<strong> some text</strong>
<em> second line </em>
</code>
</pre>
nesting code inside pre seems to cancel out code.

Re: Entering code examples
It’s adding the extra line breaks that creates the problem. This is how I do it (use Quote to see how):
First some text.
<code>
<here your code>
<some more code>
</code>
Hope that helps.

Re: Entering code examples
Thanks for the examples, that helps me out in understanding how the forum parses code blocks.
Experience does seem to pay off,

Re: Entering code examples
This forum is using a different version of Textile, which contains bc (block code) syntax…

Re: Entering code examples
Mary,
So it’s bc with two periods after it, then a p with a period to end it and start a new paragraph.
Very interesting, like a foreign language of sorts, I’ll get the hang of it.
Thanks.
