How to put source code sample into the post

boryspower

Hi,

I'd like my users to be able to put source code samples inside posts on my web page - what is the best way to put code, maybe with coloring also...?

For example - when I try to put some C++ program I get first line ( [hash] include.....) wrongly "understood" by Vanilla... plus the line formatting is wrong...

include

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
return 0;
}

Ps. This probably depends on WYSIWYG editor plugin on my page... I use CLEditor... What would be better in this case?

use

<pre>code</pre>

another way

four spaces or more indentation (with markdown formatter)

inline snippet use backticks

`snippet`

or use

<code>snippet</code>

wsiwyg editors can be configured to wrap code, however is good to be able to switch to source code.

It does not work... for example here - when I write a comment and I want to put a line "hash include bracket iostream bracket" (using code keyword) I get:

include

Try it yourself....

#include <iostream>

do it like so

<pre>
#include <iostream>
</pre>

Yes that is right <, this is a limitation of this parser.
