inline [code]

Hello

I was wondering if there is a possibility to format text pieces in a forum post as inline monospace parts (like HTML's <code>). The current [code] tag is an equivalent to HTML's <pre>, but sometimes I would just like to highlight a piece of text as code without breaking the paragraph.

... such as right now, when I would like to highlight all those [code], <code>, <pre>, etc. wink

How can I achieve this? Or is it not supported?

Thanks in advance!

Re: inline [code]

There's [ ins ] tag which looks like a highlighter, but it's pretty hard on the eyes. You can use bold, italics or underline, you can even use color, but I don't think you can use something like <pre>.

You can open a feature request upstream. If fluxbb devs will include it, Arch will too, as Arch uses vanilla software.

I've posted a request there, let's see what they think of it.
(I'm just puzzled that I'm the first one who misses that feature - am I just weird?)

I have thought about that too, formatting the commands in forum just like in wiki would be very useful. Though the fact that request is 3 years old doesn't add much hope.

Re: inline [code]

I'm sorry, here's the post: http://fluxbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=7136

Perhaps I should also open a ticket? Or is it considered impolite?

But as axper said, when I look at the progress on the other request, I don't think they seriously consider it important enough to be implemented. And the fact that <pre> becomes [code] and <code> becomes... [what?] doesn't help either.

Re: inline [code]

The lead developer has replied that he will add the feature in version 2.0. Let's see how long it take them to go from 1.5.3 to 2.0. If you open a ticket do post the link. I am interested to see it happening soon.

Re: inline [code]

Given that, as karol already wrote, there is ticket #108 that has been marked as "2.0alpha3" (even if since 2011), I don't think they would consider it polite if I opened a new one.
But yeah, let's see how fast they get to FluxBB 2 (and whether they postpone it to 2.1 or 2.2... or 3).

(Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!)

Re: inline [code]

Not sure if necrobumping, but technically it's still a relevant and unresolved discussion, soo...

I just stumbled over it: Apparently, the aforementioned ticket has been closed/fixed in January, and inline code tags are either coming as [c]this[/c] or as [inline]this[/inline] - in 1.6 (already!). Looking at the list of open tasks for that release, we might still need to wait a little, though.

Anyway, it's coming closer smile
