BBcode and tab expanding

[ads]

Hello,

i want to post some code examples in my blog and use the [code] tag. Now the example is latex source and each \t< more text> get's expanded to a tab + <more text>. I tried \\ but it get's expanded to a \ and the following 't' still expands to the tab.

How can i avoid this and post code examples which contain \t<some text>?


Thanks

I cannot comment on the bbcode because I do not use it on any s9y site. If you are willing to use html <code> or <pre>, here is some pretty nice css which is, in fact, used by the s9y homepage and blog:

Code: Select all

pre {
/* the following is not fully WC3 css3 compliant due to browser specific rules, but works well in all browsers tested */
    overflow-x: auto; /* Use horizontal scroller if needed; for Firefox 2, not needed in Firefox 3 */
    white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */
    white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
    white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
    white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
    word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
}

code, pre {
    background: #f6f6f6;
    border: 2px solid #bbbbbb;
    color: #278350;
    font-family:"Courier New",Courier,monospace;
    padding: 10px;
}

code {
    display: block;
}

code pre,
pre code {
    border:0;
    padding:0;
}

So, nobody ever posted Latex sourcecode in his blog?

Hi!

You should try the dsp_syntaxhighlight or geshi event plugins, those allow for custom source markups?

HTH,

dsp_syntaxhighlight is not an option because it requires Javascript.

But Geshi did the job.


Thank you
