I did a lighter yellow - AdlibRegister

 

I found out the Clipboard copy doesn't work on my browser. Here's the function if you would like to change it:

<script>
function ClipBoard(){
    var text = document.getElementById("holdtext");
    window.prompt ("CTRL+C to copy to clipboard:", text.innerText);
}
</script>

And in the document's top right corner, and in the "copytext" element's top right corner:

<a href="#" onclick="ClipBoard();">

It opens a prompt with code to copy etc.

I would not like to discuss in this topic. My option works in IE, but your are not working at all.

I'm sorry, your code doesn't work for me in any browser, even IE, that's why I wanted to help. It's just me

Apart from Azijo, no-one has given any reasons for keeping this idea, unless you consider different colour suggestions an approval (which appears to be the case). although very few forum members have expressed an opinion. I found the square brackets difficult to differentiate. I think using two colours would make more sense - giving pseudo code elements one colour (perhaps black) and AutoIt code a different colour (or vice versa). I believe this would help beginners rather than confuse them.

Hi,

We already see many new users try to include the "optional" [ ] pseudo-syntax in their code and then wondering why it does not work. I would not wish to see the initial syntax explanation given the same colouring as the example code - the chances for confusion are just too great.

In my opinion the only colouring of that section of the Help file page that might be advantageous would be putting the [ ] pseudo-syntax in light grey to distinguish it from the real syntax .

I have not seen

 

4 - voted "yes"

3 - voted "no"

At the Russian forum I made long ago, problems didn't see. And all are silent, everything means agree.

@Melba There are other pseudo code elements besides brackets included in the syntax section. General terms are also used such as 'expression'.

@Azijo I think both options are acceptable but I prefer the simpler idea.

@czardas

If syntax is similar to syntax of a code, it is easy to read it. All charm consists in it.

[czardas]

It's the syntax that needs to be understood. Syntax highlighting is very helpful with real code. I have never had a problem with the colours used in the syntax section of the help file. The complication is that it contains pseudo code elements. These ought to be different and stand out. If everything is highlighted, you lose that option.

[AZJIO]

The problem can only be for beginners who have 2 posts on the forum. To do in favor of majority.

[czardas]

If 4 vote yes and 3 vote no (among thousands of users), it doesn't give a clear answer. People who don't vote may not care one way or the other.

We'll have to put them before the fact

I didn't quite understand this. Please could you rephrase.

[AZJIO]

Make a color syntax, and wait for the critics. Also everyone will keep quiet.

[czardas]

I understand you now. It seems reasonable. Why not try Melba's suggestion?

AZJIO,

Please do not take comments against syntax colouring so personally - we have as much right to express our opinion as you.

If you use an external style file, then every man would solve the problem for themselves. I've tried, but it requires in each page to introduce Java-script.

[guinness]

Is that possible to have an external stylesheet that the chm file can use? RIght now default.css is embedded in the chm file.

[AZJIO]

In HTML, I have a ready example. For CHM should be checked.

Added the option to vote.,..   What say you?
