New forum and code

[Rickta59 589]

Is it just me, or does this ip.board really suck when it comes to dealing with preformatted / code blocks? I've gone back and looked at some code I and others have posted. Why isn't there an easy way to include code with something like phpbb does with bbcodes?

 

Take this post for example:

 

http://forum.43oh.com/topic/1284-software-async-serial-txrx-without-timer/?p=12640

...

for(state = 0; ...

..

Something has gone in and rewrote the for loop code and stuffed html image tags in there ?

 

What can we do so I can use code from old posts without having to try and figure out what got replaced with html tags?

 

How do I easily include preformatted text that isn't "code" ... oh and by the way how do I shut off the numbering of the lines?

 

Less than happy with IP.Boards,

Do you have more example of this?

Testing above code:

unsigned state, c, n, addr, fgr, fgg, fgb, bgr, bgg, bgb, mkr, mkg, mkb;

for(state = 0; ;-) {
c = getc();
if(c == '<') {
state = 1;
} else if(c == '>') {
if(state == 11) {
// End of packet - do something
}
state = 0;
} else if(c >= '0' && c <= '9') {
n = c - '0';
if(state > 1 && n > 1) state = 0;
switch(state) {
case 1: ++state; addr = n; break;
case 2: ++state; fgr = n; break;
case 3: ++state; fgg = n; break;
case 4: ++state; fgb = n; break;
case 5: ++state; bgr = n; break;
case 6: ++state; bgg = n; break;
case 7: ++state; bgb = n; break;
case 8: ++state; mkr = n; break;
case 9: ++state; mkg = n; break;
case 10: ++state; mkb = n; break;
default: break;
}
} else {
state = 0;
}
}

Seems to have been fixed in the newer updates. This unfortunately does not fix posts that already have been made. I copy pasted Opossum's code.

It seems to have broken all the old posts ..

 

just search for 'icon_e_wink.gif' ... or the copyright symbol ... code that used to say © ...

say

[oPossum 1,083]

I tried to edit the code in some of my old posts, and it just got worse. Really messed up formating, and added some sort of eol tags.

 

Is there a way to use [tags] like phpbb instead of the wysiwyg editor?

[bluehash 1,581]

 '(' 'c' ')'

 

[bluehash 1,581]

Heh! .. or just type '(' 'c' ')' and watch it get morphed. ...

 

Overlord stop twisting my words. 

- Which browser are you using?

- Are in in quick editor or full editor mode?

- Do you click <> and add your code in the editor box pop up?

Unfortunately no, oPossum.

 

I can't seem to replicate what you guys are seeing.

I'm using google chrome on linux .. or mac  .. or android ..

 

all i did was reply in the box below .. and type © and press "POST"  btw i typed 3 chracters '(' 'c' ')'

When in editor mode, try using paste as plain text by default. It's a tiny gear symbol at the end of the top bar in the editor.

using chrome on windows 7 here, does the same thing to me too ( as Rick describes ).

 

Copy pasted code from one of oPossums posts ( Nokia 5110 C++ template library ), and it injected html copyright symbol into my code. Which was probably on the post to begin with. I just didn't notice it at first.

 

But a lot of oPossums code posts have either copyright symbols injected in, or for->loops like Rick mentioned formed into forum smiley code.

 

Yeah putc© <--- for example.

 

EDIT:

 

Only way I see to possibly fix this is to somehow instruct all text within a code <block> to be left untouched. But i would have no idea how to do that.

[pabigot 355]

I noticed in passing that the code blocks I entered got line numbers, which was cute but messed up indentation at the transition from line 9 to line 10.  Couldn't figure out why, or why it didn't seem to happen with others' posts.  Gave up and moved on.
