Including javascript code in forum posts
It looks like the click-to-expand method of pasting in copy-compressed max patches breaks when you try to include anything else wrapped in code tags. I really love the feature but is there any way to preserve whitespace properly when posting other code snippets, like javascript, to the forum?
I would just post a patch with a comment displaying the js-code.
(I've always been curious to why nobody shares their email on the forum this way)
Good idea, I'm not sure why I didn't think of that, the [js] object is even clever enough to keep the indentation, even if [comment] does not display it!
You can use the pre tag to preserve formatting:
function test() {
this is
my
silly
code
}
Testing testing^ I was… testing. I was trying to understand why wrapping a < pre > around < code > wasn't working, it appears using just < pre > does it. To admins, feel free to delete this reply!
Hi friends,
Anangel Argonaut is right, in that pre tags are best for multi-line code.
Some quick tips on the forum can be found here. But if you have anything that you think should be pointed out, we'd be glad to hear suggestions!
