Code tags

by Daniel Buckmaster · in Site Feedback · 09/22/2009 (3:45 am) · 6 replies

I'm sure this has been noticed and mentioned before, but code tags are really, really annoying.

1. Leading spaces are cut off, which isn't too bad but it makes things look a bit silly.
2. Copying code inside tags includes line numbers, which is extremely silly, and makes it a fuss to copy/paste code from resources.

If you click on the "plain text" link above the code block it brings up a popup window with the plain text in it.

Yes - that's what makes it a fuss ;P.

That reply came with blinding speed! I appreciate it :)

Okay, thanks guys. I would have been surprised if this hadn't been posted before, but a cursory look didn't reveal any recent posts, so I figured I'd bring it up again :P.
