From the menu:

Or:

• You can also specify a programming language: [CODE=Lua]Your Lua code here[/CODE]
  • Result:

    Your code here

• For inline code write: [ICODE]Your inline code here[/ICODE]
  • Result: Your inline code here

What three dots? I am using the Chrome browser. There is no three-horizontal dots symbol in the menu, only three-vertical-dots which does not do what is indicated in the graphic. Maybe this thread needs updating. A full pop-up (drop-down?) editing guide like the Textile one would be a help.

print "just testing"

OK, my guess paid off. Users should perhaps need to know how to insert code. They also need to know what the escape mechanism is if they want to use square-bracketed format commands in their text literally. That is why a full explanatory handbook would be good.

 

[Coda]

#include <iostream>

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

I think the server's software must have changed since August 15. It seems that putting CODE=<language> in square brackets starts off a code section and /CODE in square brackets terminates it. What I still do not understand is how to escape such commands when you want to quote them in text.

Thank you for letting me know.
The forum software made changes to the user interface. I've updated the images and instructions.

Is there any way you can make it default to, you know, Lua?

It's fixed now. Thank you!
Edit: the plugin I had to use to get Lua as the default language had a bug in it so I had to disable it.

Ha. I was wondering. No worries, I've become used to typing [ CODE=lua ]. lol
