PSA: [code][/code] vs. [tt][/tt]

[Night Fox]

but [tt] doesn't automatically ignore BBC
plus, for users who actually make use of the buttons, there isn't a button for either [nobbc] or [tt], while there is one for code
I agree that [tt] looks better, but functionally the code tags are probably a better option

didn't notice that
but, you'd still have to manually type the nobbc stuff
in that case I don't see any reason to use code if you're not gonna be including any BBC
and even then I'd probably still take the slightly harder option to make it look nice

[Starzy]

code is wrong for newest version of python (3.3)



print ("Hi!")

[tt] is indeed a lot better. I use it a lot, even when it's not really code, but just tiny things, such as mentioning the GuiSwatchCtrl class.
I wish you could use BBC inside [code] tags, so you could do something like this for larger content:

[code][tt]...[/tt][/code]

the ideal combo:
function ServerCmdGbOn(%client)
{

if(isObject(%client.player))

{

messageClient(%client,'',"\c6Glow Brick on!");

%client.getView();

}
}
pretty wonk, but you gotta settle
there's a pretty nice syntax highlighting add-on that i use, so it'd be nice if that were installed to the forum

[Port]

you broke [tt]

also, I end up doing this every time I mention [tt]:

[tt][nobbc][tt][/ nobbc][/tt]

uh, whoops
doButt(1);
looks like php tags break whatever's behind them
back to the drawing board then
surprisingly enough there doesn't seem to be a program or tool or whatever anywhere for use with BBC

Actually I think [code][/code] does have syntax hilighting. Probably PHP.

Code: [Select]

<?php phpinfo(); hello?>

Code: (Copied from website) [Select]

<?php
      /* Initialize some variables using C style comments
         $a - contains a-coefficient
         $b - contains b-coefficient
         $x - value we are evaluating
         $y - result from evaluating equation */
      $a = 1; $b = 2; $x = 1;
      $y = $a * $x + $b;
      if ( $y < 5 )                // C++ style comment, check if y<5
      {
              # Shell style comment, display something when y<5
              echo "Guess what?  y is less than 5!";
      }
 ?>
