Code tags / preformatted text

[sbrylski]

I'm getting angry. Why the crap won't these work?

 

For example, I'll put three, three-letter words on four lines surrounded by code tags:

 

 Dog Cat CowFib Lie AskPit Pot PanSam Bob Pip 

 

EDIT: They all go on one line. Why?

I'll see if I can learn the status on that. I think the HTML pre tag produces the same crummy results.

 

These tags worked somewhat, then were busted entirely, then were allegedly fixed pending a push. There was supposed to be a push in May, but it's been delayed twice.

Using the HTML "pre" tag, done entirely in HTML mode:

 PriceCheap Bread $1.50Designer Bread $3.00Milk $3.50Ice Cream $4.50---------------------Total $12.50 

 

Using the "code" bbcode done entirely in post editor:

 

 Chevy $3,000Ford $5,000Toyota $7,000 

 

Using the "code" html tag

 

Chevy $3,000

Ford $5,000

Toyota $7,000

As you can see, I'm getting a mess, too.

 

While this doesn't help either of us fix the problem, this is what's happening:

• HTML
  tags are totally ignored when using the HTML

   tag or the [code] bbcode. They're preserved in the post editor, though. 

• The HTML tag preserves the
  tags, but it ignores the spaces ( ). Again, they're preserved in the post editor.
