[RESOLVED] putting [b] inside [highlight]

I've seen it done but when I try it displays the bold tags in the actual code. How do i do it?

Select text you want to highlight and click the "B" button, color, etc...

Code:

---

line1
line2
line3

---

I think he wants to actualy see [b] in the code block....

There's a noparse tag.... [noparse][/noparse] that will prevent the bbcodes from being interpreted.

Actually, it's the exact opposite techno. If I say..copy some code form a post

vb Code:

do until bLoop=True
loop

and want to highlight a portion that i've added for illustrations sake...i get this..

vb Code:

do until bLoop=True
[B]bLoop=true[/B]
loop

I need to have the bloop=true part be in bold.

Gotcha.... never had that issue... but I use the code tags instead...

wow.... that is pretty jacked....

That will happen with highlight tags, but not with code tags. Most folks aren't aware of simply because everyone uses code tags.

This is a known issue and will be with us as long as the copying issue with the highlight tags is.

wait..the copying issue?

I use highlight tags because..well..it..highlights..but what you're saying is that if i need to bold something that i should use code tags instead??

in a nutshel.... yup..

what copying issue were you speaking about previously?

Copy & paste this into VB (or NotePad):

vb Code:

Dim i as Integer
  For i = 1 To 10
   MsgBox i
  Next i

.. you'll notice extra line-breaks/characters/indentation.

There are a few recent threads in Forum Feedback which explain how to work-around it, but it is still a bit of a nuisance.

ah yes... the # signs and such. I pasted some vb code from a forum awhile back and noticed that. Thanks for the help.
