Pasting code to the board

FredMFoley · May 11th, 2002, 04:12 AM

When I paste code to the board the indents or tabs get lost, making it harder to read.

How do you paste code and keep the same form?

Thank You

Hi FredMFoley,

I always use tags of HTML.

Thanks Colo - but I don't know the first thing about HTML.

It would sure be nice to be able to see all the postings laid out with the indents.

I don't know html either...
Type in:





as you see it above and as Colo said,

then enter your code.



After your code type in

This will retain the indents...

Thank you
I tried it on the "Test Postings Here" site and it worked.
I didn't think it could be so simple!

LOL, Fred. I have found most things are pretty simple here once you find out what they are, but they can be so frustrating when you dont know.

Hi Guys:
Someone just pointed this out to me the other day... the various "headers" and "footers" for bolding , italics indenting etc. are all very nicely documented on this sites FAQ page.
