Hello!

Congratulations for the new style of your site!

But: am I right that the “code” tag no longer works? [import]uid: 4331 topic_id: 977 reply_id: 300977[/import]

Did it work before? [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 977 reply_id: 2218[/import]

It’s never really worked right. Fixing that is on my list of todos. I’ll keep you guys posted. [import]uid: 3 topic_id: 977 reply_id: 2229[/import]

The <code> and [code] tags work in the new design now. In fact they work better than ever before. We’ve added syntax highlighting, and it recognizes Lua by default. For other languages try <as> or <as3>, for instance.

The code tag did work before, but it had to be added around every line. Yuck! Now you only need one <code> tag before your code and one </code> at the end. Line numbers show up and all formatting is preserved. Yay!

Here’s an example:

--my favorite explode function for lua   
function explode(div,str)  
 if (div=='') then return false end  
 local pos,arr = 0,{}  
 -- for each divider found  
 for st,sp in function() return string.find(str,div,pos,true) end do  
 table.insert(arr,string.sub(str,pos,st-1)) -- Attach chars left of current divider  
 pos = sp + 1 -- Jump past current divider  
 end  
 table.insert(arr,string.sub(str,pos)) -- Attach chars right of last divider  
 return arr  
end  
  
-- USAGE:  
 local contents = "apples,bananas,oranges"  
 local fruits = explode(",", contents)  
 print ("I go ".. fruits[2] .." for ".. fruits[1] .." and ".. fruits[3] .."!")
