Maybe I am dolt, but since this is the CGI/Perl forum, and we do alot of coding examples, is there any way to allow a <pre> tag in so that our code examples looks spiffy? Just wondering if its possible, or I missed it.

Just testing the new ubb tag..


Just testing..

Ok, just place the tags around the text and it will blockquote it and put <pre> tags to preserve formatting. I've emailed Ted to see if he'll put this in (mainly so I don't have to remember to update it every time).

Cheers,

I did pass it on to Ted (purely selfish as I didn't want to have to keep adding it in) , but here it is. I added:

$ThePost =~ s,(\[code\]\s*)(.+?)(\s*\[/code\]),<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="$FontFace">code:<\/font><HR><pre>$2</pre><HR><\/BLOCKQUOTE>,isg;

to ubb_library.pl just before the return $post call in sub UBBCode. I also threw in a quick example in ubbcode.html.

Oops, but after editing this I realized I needed to add:

$EditThis =~ s,(<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face=".+?">code:</font><HR><pre> )(.+?)(</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE> ),\[CODE\]$2\[/CODE\],isg;

in EditUBBConvert as well.

Hope this helps,

Alex

Alex,

How about showing off the quick snippet you used to do this, it's quite useful!

Thanks
