[QUOTE] and [CODE] RRS feed

  • Question

  • The formatting commands [quote], [/quote],[code], and [/code] are supported by most forums concerned with software, but not here.  The "Insert Code Block" function here is pretty much useless.  Please consider adding support for quotes and code.

  • We don't have plans to change to markup. Thanks for the suggestion though, this has been something we have looked at in the past but I don't think we are very close to making this change.

  • Sorry to hear that.  A decent way to mark quotes and code would help out a lot here.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply.

  • Hello Again,

    If you don't plan on changing that, how about fixing the "Insert Code Block."  The code block does not clearly delineate the code.  And when I "Edit" to fix an error it adds a host of blank lines.  If I insert a new line in the code block, it creates new code blocks and really messes up.

    edit: add a code block

     

    void CMFC_App_SDI_V02View::OnDrawRed()
    
    
    
    {
    
    
    
     // TODO: Add your command handler code here
    
    
    
     int columns;
    
    
    
     int rows;
    
    
    
     int index = 0;
    
    
    
     int intensity = 0;
    
    
    
    
    
    

    // insert this line

    // TODO: Add your command handler code here for( rows = 0; rows < BMAP_WIDTH; rows ++ ) { for( columns = 0; columns < BMAP_WIDTH; columns ++ ) { m_image_array[ index ] = 0; m_image_array[ index + 1 ] = 0; m_image_array[ index + 2 ] = intensity; index += 3; } intensity += 4; if( intensity >= 0xFF ) intensity = 0; } InvalidateRect( NULL, FALSE ); }

     Now go back and insert one line with copy paste then save

    Look at all the blank lines.  They were not there before the edit.

  • Hello Again,

    I am back and complaing again about lack of ability to mark quotes and code.  Add in functions such as [code], and [/code], and the same for quotes.  The lack of this significantly detracts for forum use.

    I suggest that you (You understood meaning the group) a poll in a couple of forums where people will see it and discover what they think.  I suspect that most people do not cruise this section very often.
