Before posting source code, please read this....

Hello, MHB Community! (Wave)

We have several tools on our toolbar that make posted source code stand out and preserve whitespace so that your indentation is preserved, making it easier to read and copy/paste for those who wish to take it and run it for testing.

For general code, you will find this button useful:

Next to that button, you will find buttons specifically for HTML and PHP code. Click the appropriate button, and then paste your code in between the generated tags, or paste your code into your post, then select it, and click the appropriate button to wrap the selected text in the tags.

Thanks! :D

I have a related question and a suggestion.

Is there a button for fixed-width font?

It might be better to change the bubble hints to provide the description of the tag rather than just the tag's name. For example, I may not know what the sp tags does.

No, but we do have keyboard shortcuts for it and the noparse tags:

[CTRL][M] = [m][/m] tags - monospace, with gray background.
[CTRL][Q] = [noparse][/noparse] tags.

Great suggestion! (Yes) I have added some javascript to do just that for several of the less obvious tags. :)

edit: I added a button for the [m][/m] tags:

And added an explanation of the button to its tooltip. (Yes)
