Best practice to display code
Development and Programming
I would like to know the best way to display code on an entry for javascript tutorials
I’ve tried the wrapping the code tag around my custom field but it did not work.. I tried the pre tag, no good either.. I have my custom field with none for formatting.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.. thanks..
You’ll need to be sure you convert your < > { and } tags into HTML entities first. Are you already doing that?
Is using the [ code ]…your code here…[/ code ] tag pair around the text in the entry no good?
Not sure if you’re using ExpressionEngine 1.7.x or 2.x but for version 1 there is an extension which can help with styling all kinds of ode types. Not sure about 2.0 though.
Best wishes,
Mark
P.S. Sorry had to place spaces into the [ code ] [/ code ] tag pair in the example above as the forum was stripping them out.
Erik, Mark, thanks for the input.. Yes, it worked once I changed the tags to their entities. I’ll see if the plugin is available.. If not, I’ll make a couple of custom buttons for the editor.. Thanks again..
