"code"

brewcrewkid14 · July 22, 2004

What is the "code" button for every post. I am not really sure what it does. Any help would be good?

batman · July 22, 2004

It is what allows a poster to add pre-formatted content (like stat tables). For example,

 this text is in four columns. Isn't that cool?

The Code feature is very useful when copying-and-pasting box scores into posts.

The Code feature is what allows all the columns to lineup.

brewcrewkid14 · July 25, 2004

well when i try it there is like a HUGE space between the words for example:

 There is a big space between this line and the next line....

What browser are you using?

brewcrewkid14 · July 26, 2004

If it is what you are asking we are using Internet Explorer.

brewcrewkid14,

I checked the source code of this page. It appears that the text of the box score you used wasn't lined up properly. (Actually it wasn't lined up at all.)

When you're using the code function (or the HTML 'pre' tag), if the text isn't lined up properly, simply insert spaces until everything looks right.

If your original text is really a mess, it's probably easier to do this work in a word processor or text editor using a monospace font (like Monaco). That way each character (or space) will be the same width; things will be really easy to line up.

1992casey · July 26, 2004

well when i try it there is like a HUGE space between the words...

The huge space your eye perceives between the words is normal. You're not doing anything wrong. It's the consequence of of your browser displaying the text in a monospaced font. It simply doesn't stand out so much in the box scores.

Look at something created on a typewriter. You'll see the same effect.

1992casey · July 26, 2004

There is a big space between this line and the next line....

See

It appears that you've simply hit the enter (or return) key two too many times. You can see that this looks fine:

There is a big space between this line and the next line....

See

What you likely did was this:

There is a big space between this line and the next line....

RETURN

See

Unlike writing regular text in a post, when you use the 'code' function, every space and return means something.

1992casey · July 26, 2004

What browser are you using?

I don't think the browser makes a whole lot of difference. When the code function is used, ezBoard turns it into pretty standard HTML. I looked at this page in 3 different browsers (Firefox, Safari, IE-Mac) and there was no real difference.

If 'coded' text looks obnoxious to an individual user, s/he can try changing the browser settings to a different monospaced font.

Just not working for me. While I'm apparently not using a mono-space font, it still looks decent before I post it (just SLIGHTLY off). After I post it it looks aweful though. Your guys nice formatted posts all line up perfect, however. teh idea, however is, if I went in word and it was perfectly lined up, I should be able to just copy and paste that?

Can you copy over any html code? Like tables?

Is there an ezboard default typeface that is monospaced? ARGGGGGGGGHHHH!

1992casey · September 30, 2004

Setting your word processor or text editor to display a monospaced font won't make a difference when the browser displays the end result. It just helps you maintain sanity when you try to line things up.

Setting the word processor to show 'invisible' characters is helpful, too. Tabs vs. spaces can make a difference.

1992casey · September 30, 2004

Reviving an old thread, because I just spent an hour trying to edit my post that won't line up correctly.

Moderator Chris told me to use spaces, but they already are spaces. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

JoeH33 · May 11, 2006

I wasn't sure what you were doing wrong so I just tried lining up the data myself and it worked. All I did was copy and paste the data into Notepad, and spaced it out correctly and then wrapped it in code tags. I'm not sure why it didn't work for you.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Did you space it out in notepad so they line up? It looks like just one space in between everything.

BillScottCanRake · May 11, 2006

mls:

In your first post, the columns were separated by tabs. I know this because when I looked at the orginal post, a single delete removed what appeared in the post to be a number of spaces. This is something that happens a lot when you try to copy and paste the data from a website, especially if it was presented in a table.

As you can see, the columns still aren't lined up correctly. That's because rather than using spaces being between each column, there is a tab.

How can you tell if the document uses tabs or spaces? I paste what I want to post into Notepad first. When I delete the space between columns, if it only takes a single keystroke, I know I am dealing with columns separated by tabs. If that's the case, I need to delete the tabs and replace them with spaces.

Below is the same data. I pasted it into notepad (which uses Lucida Console as the default font, though any monospace font works) and removed all of the tabs and replaced them with an appropriate number of spaces. Once everything looked OK, I copied from notepad and pasted into this message, between the CODE tags.

 SPLIT G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB BA OBP SLG Season 34 127 27 37 5 0 15 28 2 .291 .389 .685 Career 1076 4073 645 1158 238 10 199 694 79 .284 .339 .494 Last 7 6 25 6 9 3 0 4 7 1 .360 .385 .960 Projected 162 605 129 176 24 0 71 133 10 .291 .389 .685

Its a lot easier to do than describe. It took me longer to describe all the steps than to actually do the work.

Hopefully that helps. If not, let me know and I can e-mail you the text document with the before and after text in it.

Ok I finally figured it out now. I was doing it with the HTML button on, and I should have been doing it with the ezCodes button on instead.

Sorry to make this into much more of a big deal than it needed to be, and thanks for everyone's help.

 1st Word 2nd Word 3rd Word -------- -------- -------- I am practicing my table posting and "code" tag usage

Did I spell "practicing" correct? It looks funny.

sbrylski · May 11, 2006

Mls4, that was it. I have always had problems posting tables as well, but by selecting ezCodes it now works.

Don't think you were posting in ezCodes mode.

"code"
