How to format text and code on the new forum

if(stuff >= 42){
  something++;

it might be worth a recap:

leave a line above and below the code

select it

hit ctrl-o (or mac equivalent). this should shift everything right by 4 spaces.

avoid /* */ comments, use /** */ instead

split any urls in the code - "http://" + "google.com"

@ symbols are also troublesome.

Ctrl O works on the Mac. At least in Firefox

GoToLoop

As I mentioned other times, in order to overcome the @ glitch,
we can place a space between the symbol & its word: @ Override void exit() {}.
An even better fix is replace @ w/ its corresponding HTML code@: @Override void exit() {}

_vk

Often in mac when said ctrl, users successfully "translates" it to command (apple key). Not in this case. It is ctrl that is to be pressed. (command - o is open anyway...).

GoToLoop

Any regular PC user knows what is the CTRL key! ;))
And being trapped in a walled Apple garden is no excuse not to know about that! [-(

koogs

(but i didn't know what the mac equiv of the PC's ctrl-o was. it might've been command-o, might've been control-o. probably expensive either way.)

_vk

That's what I meant, for any usual stuff, ctrl-o (open)/ ctrl-s (save) / ctrl-c (copy)... In a Mac you do command-o / command-s / command-c ...

But not in the case of formatting text here... : -P

    void setup() {
      println("Hello, world!");
    }

 void draw() {


 switch(currentScreen){

   case 0:  drawScreenZero(); break;
     case 1:  drawScreenOne(); break;
      case 2:  drawScreenTwo(); break;
         default:  drawScreenZero();break;
 }

      if(hasFinished()){

        if(hasFinished()&&currentScreen<2) {
           currentScreen++;

      }

      else{currentScreen=0;
         init();

}

ok just testing the format....

SemiProcess

None of my code formats as code, so can smeone please fix it so the big C actually formats code?

Chrisir

Hm...?

Insert code with multiple lines

2 empty lines before and after the entire block

Select / mark entire block (with mouse)

Hit ctrl-o

It's just important that every line has at least 4 spaces indent

jeremydouglass

@SemiProcess -- even if you can't highlight+CTRL+o, you can manually put four spaces in front of each code line. I'm going to type two ENTERs, then type four spaces -- that will make the next lines code:

// two line breaks before the code starts
// four spaces in front of each line
if( spacesInFrontOfThisLine = 4 ){
  // indented lines have more than 4 spaces -- 6, 8, etc.
}

koogs

and the C works as long as you highlight the code before you press it

// this
// is 
// a
// test

if it's a single line (or nothing) you'll get backticks, blocks of code get indented by 4 characters, which is correct.

koogs

(i find the ctrl-o easier than the C anyway because my hands are already on the keyboard)

boolean checkRow(int nY, int cN) {
  boolean bo = false;
  for (int c = 0; c < 9; c++) {
    //  println(c);
    bo = false;
    if (cN != num[nY][c]) {
      //   println(cN +"!="+ num[nY][c]);
      bo = true;
      return bo;
    } else {
      bo = false;
      return bo;
    }
  }
};

this is a test ;)

Hi

`void setup() { fullScreen(); noStroke(); fill(0); }

void draw() { background(204); if (mousePressed) { if (mouseX < width/2) { rect(0, 0, width/2, height); // Left } else { rect(width/2, 0, width/2, height); // Right } } }`

So tables don't work.

Lord_of_the_Galaxy

Try two

Tables	Are	Cool
col 3 is	right-aligned	$1600
col 2 is	centered	$12
zebra stripes	are neat	$1

Lord_of_the_Galaxy

Why don't tables work?!

Anyone know how to make tables work??

@Lord_of_the_Galaxy -- this Vanilla forum is rendering markdown tables correctly as HTML -- this is the rendered source of your table above:

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
  <th>Tables</th>
  <th align="center">Are</th>
  <th align="right">Cool</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
  <td>col 3 is</td>
  <td align="center">right-aligned</td>
  <td align="right">$1600</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>col 2 is</td>
  <td align="center">centered</td>
  <td align="right">$12</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>zebra stripes</td>
  <td align="center">are neat</td>
  <td align="right">$1</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

However, the CSS has stripped all styling from them -- no borders, spacing, etc. I think in order for comment tables to work visually, the forum would need to add defined styles for any table nested below a class="Message" or class="Comment".

Lord_of_the_Galaxy

You're right @jeremydouglass. I just hope they set that sometime though, tables would be useful sometimes.

Hi I'm about to post some code dealing with video libraries - I need to include some small video files. Is there a preferred hosing service for this forum? I'd like to avoid the issue of links dying when you look at older posts.

GoToLoop

@chrios1001, If it's indeed small, post your whole code & data in a repo site like GitHub for example: https://GitHub.com
