UBB-code-tag

[Willie Toma]

What do you mean by "UBB-code-tag" and why?

[Thomas Paul]

Using the UBB code tags will allow you to more neatly format your code:
public class MyClass {
public static void main)String[] args) {
line 1
line 2
if (something) {
more code
more code
}
more code
}
}
will look like this:

<font size="+0">
public class MyClass {
    public static void main)String[] args) {
        line 1
        line 2
        if (something) {
            more code
            more code
        }
        more code 
    }
}

But how do you format it like that.
Thanks.

Similar to the Quote tage, the Code tag adds some < PRE > tags to preserve formatting. This useful for displaying programming code, for instance.
[ CODE ]#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World!"; [ /CODE ]
In the example above, the UBB Code automatically blockquotes the text you reference and preserves the formatting of the coded text.
When I use the code tag I also use a font tag to make the code larger (otherwise it uses a tiny font.
[ code ] < font size="+0" >
my code
< /font > [ /code ]
