Ok, here are my three BBCode [code] tag improvements:

1. [code=bbcode] disables BBCode in it, but that's it.
2. [code=color] allows the [color] tag only, to highlight certain parts.
3. [code=js]Creates a link with a javascript:() url (bookmarklet).

Oh, and maybe rolling the mouse over the code well should select all of the code.

I love these ideas! Maybe this should go in suggestions, though? smile

Hardmath123 · 2011-11-05 08:50:24

I wanted to hear the Advanced Scratchers' opinions, as they are more valuable as pertaining to this particular suggestion. If it's generally well-liked, I'll suggest these there.

Really, you don't think a Minecraft lover in Miscellaneous would need syntax highlighting, do you? tongue

ProgrammingFreak · 2011-11-05 09:14:56

Wow, this would be an improvement. big_smile
Also, how about a line number in the beginning of each line?

I don't like that. Then the line numbers get copied and when you paste the code you get errors.

Besides, why do we need line numbers?

Line numbers that don't get copied are actually an incredible idea!
I'm just thinking of one person that always asks people for PHP errors on line X, and wants us to count the lines -_-

they should also consider updating the script blocks

new smilies would also be cool

This belongs in Suggestions, rather than Advanced Topics. But fear not! I shall move it for you. smile

Well, most websites have a link you click to popup a plain version of it to copy. Or others have a link to automatically copy it. big_smile

Ok... I guess maybe putting the code in a separate div than the line numbers, then adding the attrib onmouseover="this.select()" should do the trick.

How about [monospace] for a piece of code within a normal piece of text, like the attribute I mentioned in the sentence above?

We need line numbers that don't get copied to live!

I guess syntax highlighting is asking for too much...?
And [code=html] could have a "view in frame" button.

joefarebrother · 2011-11-06 03:52:34

the [code=bbcode] idea is actually not neccersery because you can acctually do this:
[ur[i][/i]l=some_link]text[/url]
will produce
[url=some_link]text[/url]
or you don't need to use [i][/i] you can use [b][/b] or any empty bbcode.

Ok, now imagine I need to share the entire BBCode of the Block Library home page, and italicize the third line? Sounds... tiring. hmm

Oh, you misspelled necessary. tongue

Actually, we could use this.

1. You could always use the code tags.
2. I don’t understand. Are you saying it allows certain parts to be colored and bold? But you can already do that.
3. This would cause the page to load A LOT longer, and that was one of the reasons Scratch put a limit on signature sizes.
