[Code] vs [Quote] for code

[zwei]

Just curious, when it comes to API/macro/code, what do you prefer when you insert your code as answer/question in the forum?

Personally, I prefer to use quote just because i can do some text formatting to indicate some area that need to be change

'Lorem Ipsum
'Lorem Ipsum
'Lorem Ipsum

Code function has a select all option but cant apply any formatting

Code: Select all

'Lorem Ipsum
[color=#FF0000]'Lorem Ipsum[/color]
'Lorem Ipsum

I rarely use upload unless it is a macro that i want to share as a whole.

We need a proper syntax highlighter such as: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2557806. I'll request it in the Suggestions area.

Ok, this is added, but I'm gonna rely on you guys to tell me if it's working or not. Here's a screen shot of the settings. Looks like they use some named themes. @JSculley if you have experience with this, do you want to suggest a theme to use?

Solarized. It's pretty popular. I use it everywhere I can. Let's give it a whirl:

Code: Select all

public static void main(String[] args) {
	System.out.println("Hello World!");
}

Code: Select all

int Main()
{
	Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
}

The highlighting works well. It also gives you a 'Copy' button and a hint at what the language is. Nice.
