Forum code snippet format

[AggrorJorn]

What is the workaround again to get the formatting for Lua scripts correct when editing a post? Posting the script inside a 'code' tag works at first. Bu when you edit your post, you lose all formatting.

 

--testing
function Script:Start()
   self.enabled = false
end

Are you talking about all those extra html tags? If so, you get those for colored text, bold text, etc.So if you post raw text, it should show up ok. Don't know about the workaround you're talking about though.

There's a little button in the edit window that turns off the auto formatting so you are working with old school bob code. Keep that turned off when you start editing and it will retain white soace

Ah that's the one. Only downside to it is when you toggle a second time between editing mode, you lose the indenting.

What do you put in the code tag to format as C/C++? I believe Lua was made the default a while back.

{cpp}

Ah, got it. [ cpp ] without spaces

void semicolon semicolon void void ;;;;;;;

 

[ cpp ]void semicolon semicolon void void ;;;;;;;[ / cpp ]

^remove the spaces in the brackets

Was editing repeatedly as I was testing it. Took me a second to figure out the obvious. Thanks.
