I love using JavaRanch as a study tool. However, one thing I'm finding frustrating, and I'm hoping some experienced ranch hands have a trick or two to help here...
The problem is the benefit of using the UBB code [C.ODE] (missspelled on purpose) is nice because you can see the code indented. The problem, though, is it really prints awfully small and I then have to use view on my browser to view the text larger. More importantly, though, I really enjoy cutting and pasting code that is displayed so I can
test some of the things posted. The code between the UBB tags however must be stripped of line feeds, for when I paste into and editor or
IDE it's all on one line. A real pain adding all the breaks and indents. It's actually easier to cut and paste code that isn't put between UBB Code tags since then you just have to add indents, however it's a real pain to look at without the indents in the regular forum posts. I also could have sworn that a while ago I was able to use html tags to present stuff differently. I'd actually make the font bigger usins CSS in a <PRE> tag and everything was nice.
Is this just the nature of the beast? or does anyone have some pointers on how to deal with some of these formatting issues on the ranch better. This is probably the wrong forum to ask such a question but being you guys all deal with this on a day to day basis in relation to your
java studies you might have some advice.
Thanks,
Rick
