BBcode for posting inline code like stackoverflow

Hi,

Sometimes, we might need to highlight the some piece of code that we type in our response(apart from the actual code snippet). So in that case, wouldn't it be useful if make a bbcode available for inline code?

Here's a screenshot of what am suggesting:

The CSS code I used:

HTML Code:

---

span.inline-code{
  background: rgb(119, 119, 119);
  padding: 0 5px;
  color: white;
  font-family: 'Courier New';
  border: 1px solid rgb(82, 82, 82);
}

You could setup a BBCODE so that it will be replaced with <span class="inline-code">xxxxx</span>

What do you think?

do you mean like this? span.inline-code { more text here

If so, there are TT tags:
do you mean like this? [tt] span.inline-code{ [/tt] more text here

Thanks si :wave:

That seems to be cool. But I think it would be better if it could have a background or some embossing to get attention that it's a code line.

Also, I would suggest a help link somewhere above the Reply Box, which could open up in a popup window explaining these useful BBcodes.

That picture was on my thread :)

Just made a Chrome extension including this feature. :)
