Possible CODE (tag) change?


Recommended Posts

I've noticed that the CODE tag here uses the same default font as the rest of forum posts.

Is there a way, or have there been suggestions, to change the font used on CODE tags to Courier? Or even better, to green Courier?

I don't know how much the CODE tag is used outside of the UNIX/Linux, Mac and Programming forums - probably very little in others - but this would be athesticly pleasing for posting actual code and helps make actual code stand out more.

An example of what I'm talking about can be seen in this thread [forum.gentoo.org].

on a side note, will IPB 2.0 include code coloring? can it be added in if not? it shouldn't be too hard, just store a group of keywords for each language and tell it what signifies a comment...

<?PHP

echo"test";

$var = "0";


if ($codelookscolour =="1") { echo"wow ivb is great"} else { echo":( aw ivb sucks"; }
?>

see - you can get the nice colours :)

IPB 2.0 will possibly not have code coloring. It does have a border that shows what type of box it is. Code or Quote if that is what you are talking about. [see screenie]

If you want to see the code in coloring you can always open Dreamweaver and use copy paste. :)
