How do you use Code Tags?

[stepdragon]

I know this is the Forum Test Area, and I don't know if this post will last or be temporary, but I was testing to see if I could type to show someone how to use Code tags (for beginners).

Anyways, I'm going to link to this thread in my Sig so if a newbie comes across one of my posts, they'll learn something (because honestly, not many people actually search for an read the bbcode format)

[highlight=vb] dim content as string [/highlight]

dim content as string

[highlight=vb.net] dim content as string [/highlight]

dim content as string

[code] dim content as string [/code]

 dim content as string

You don't actually need to put spaces in your tags like that in-order to show the tags, just wrap the tags in [noparse] tags and it will allow the tags to appear.

Testing [noparse] tag:

[HIGHLIGHT="vb.net"]
Dim a as string
a = "Please wait while I test it !"
[/HIGHLIGHT]


Good to know

Dim a as string
a = "Please wait while I test it !"

Thanks Night

Or, you can do it without the NOPARSE tags

[highlight=vb]your code goes in here[/highlight]

[code]your code goes in here[/code]

Admittedly I have no idea why you would want to do it this way, but, you can if you want.

Sometimes, it is necessary to show newbies, how to post their code in code/highlight tags.

[color=blue][b][[b][/b]highlight=vb][/b][/color][i]your code goes in here[/i][color=blue][b][/[b][/b]highlight][/b][/color]

[b][c[b][/b]ode][/b]your code goes in here[b][/co[b][/b]de][/b]

Seriously?

Sometimes you want to MAKE THINGS NOTICABLE
in your code window.
