This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
OK. Over in "Java", I tried to put in a code example for Paul. It looked fine in my edit box, but on the page all the indentation has vanished. What's wierd is that the line breaks are still there, so obviously the software has not just dumped the text out as HTML. Is there anything I can do in future to ensure code examples are properly formatted? Frank.
Yeah, use the HTML PRE tags. Before the code type PRE with angle brackets around it and then at the end of your code put /PRE with angle brackets around it. Example <pre> bla bla bla bla bla bla
OK, I feel dumb now. I really should have known that. On every edit page I look at the "HTML is ON" label, but so far I've just ignored it. Sigh.

Let's dig up an old thread. Is there any way to make html code listings look even slightly reasonable. By default, most of what's entered simply doesn't appear. This kind of problem is increasingly likely to occur in my servlets forum, and a real example posted a few days ago has prompted me to ask. I have tried several solutions, and ultimately ended up replacing all the angle brackets with & lt ; etc. Html PRE tags still process most of the tagged information, making things like head, body, title, links, servlet tags etc invisible. UBB CODE tags seem to process all the html tags, so that's even worse. Html XMP tags almost work, but string all the lines together separated by BR tags which don't get rendered, making for a very long and incorrect example.. Is there any way of turning html processing of on a per-message or (even better) region-of-message basis?
