Posting code into forum message

[Lasaqus 0]

Hi I have seen lots of code been posted into a smaller box with scrolling within forum messages

How do I do this so i dont fill up the whole screen with code ?

I tried clicking the buttong which looks like <> (Insert Code Snippet) when creating a new message but nothing happened

Cheers

Lasaqus,

Put [autoit ] before and [/autoit ] after your posted code (but omit the trailing space - it is only there so the tags display here). Or press the blue button just under the BOLD toolbar button.

in my browser it shows up as the <> icon

Thanks for that i'll try it

kaotkbliss,

The <> icon inserts [code ][/code ]. You need the blue AutoIt button to get [autoit ][/autoit ].

Right, but it pretty much does the same thing, doesn't it? (I never used the [autoit ] tags)

The code tag is plain text. The AutoIt tag adds highlighting and links to online documentation.

Whatever you like:

cout << "Hello World\n"

<?
   $sStr = "Hello World";
   echo $sStr
?>

Local $sStr = "Hello World" ; woot <img src='http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> colored variable names

ConsoleWrite($sStr & @CRLF)

That's interesting. Why is there both an AutoIt tag and a Code=AutoIt tag? And further more, why are they different?
