[RESOLVED] putting [b] inside [highlight]

[drag0n_45]

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

[RhinoBull]

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

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

do until bLoop=True
loop

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

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...

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??

[techgnome]

in a nutshel.... yup..

what copying issue were you speaking about previously?

[si_the_geek]

Copy & paste this into VB (or NotePad):

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.
