Code tags.

Postby Azbestos8 » Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:21 pm

When using the code tags, the font used for it is such a pain in the ass, could we get it changed to a mono-spaced font, such as "Fixedsys" or "Lucida Console".

When I paste text documents, they never display correctly, and I lose all the line formatting.

For example, here is a text document I pasted in another post;

Code: Select all

front 0 01 1 ____ / \ | | 03 | | 12 | | | | \____/ 3 23 2 back
This is how it should look;

Well, if you need to use more than one space, use indeed the BBcode code tag, so they'll remain. I well know that more spaces gets turned as only one when posting, it's a kind of text correction, and yes, the font used hasn't the same space for all the characters, reasons why you must use the BBcode code tag if is needed to write in that way, like in your example.
Maybe the flash or YouTube video code tags can be implemented, but I don't know if this is really possible also for a now old phpBB 2.0 forum.

And Azbestos8, before say what you know have said inform yourself before... Is DjDecibel the website owner and so the coder, not me... I know that's said as joke and I don't mind that much, but it's not appropriate in this serious contest.

I did use the BB "code" tag. I'll try the HTML "pre" tag.

& you should lighten up man.



<b>Edit:</b> for future reference...

Code: Select all

<pre>your text</pre>
produces....

<pre>
front
0 01 1
____
/ \
03 | | 12
| |
\____/

3 23 2
back
</pre>

and

Code: Select all
