Unformatted text tag

[edo494]

You know, when you type something like this:

something     something
   something som   e other  thing

It will actually appear all with 1 space only, like clasic html(with the added new lines).

Example:

something something
something som e other thing

Wouldnt a tag that basically simulates, or actually does <pre>-like formatting? So basically when you have tab, it will actually render a tab instead of single white space.

Suggested tag: [unform] maybe? I dont know, I am not really good when it comes to creating names from nothing.

I dont know how flexible is BBcode implementing, but possible implementation would be wrapping the input text in <pre class="somename"> and in some .css having something like

pre.somename{
    font-family: inherit;
}

pre.somename code{
    font-family: inherit;
}

(code just in case).

Yes, I could just use

or blocks, but I have file that I would potentially like to place on hive, and the file is roughly 4200 lines long, so parsing such file would take some time(to properly indent it), because it is wrote in notepad++ with extensive use of tabs.

Yes I could actually use Jass or code block, or even highlight block, but all of these have side effects. thinks in code block are hardly readable, Jass block creates additional background color as well as border and both Jass and highlight blocks potentially color the input which for textual file is not really the most desirable efect.​

Do you mean that you want significant white-space in a tag that does not apply further formatting? Like

 but without changing the font, size and color.

 

[edo494]

If I understood you correctly, then yea.

Basically my file was made in notepad++, and so I used a lot of tabs mainly(like when you code, but it is in structure of 1. 2. 3. 3.1 3.2 etc), and if I just paste it into pastebin everything appears on the left, because the tabs are omitted, like in pure html.

And also as I said, I could use the or [indent][/indent] but doing for 4300 lines of text would be quite the pain

With notepad++ it's actually not much of a pain.

You can do a replace from \n\b to \n (+4 spaces or something). Repeat it until it doesn't do anything and voila. Done in 30 seconds.

 

[edo494]

not true, because a b still appears as:

a b

 

[Xonok]

You can replace them with some kind of tags, if those exist. Use notepad++ to fix the formatting and then copy-paste to pastebin. I believe it can work.

 

[edo494]

yes, but neither nor [indent] is single tag. And doing indent blocks would be possible, doing p would require a bit more logical parsing. Neither of these can be done inside notepad++ tho.

 

[Xonok]

Fair enough, multiple-part tags are indeed harder to do in notepad++.

 

[Ralle]

Why not just use

?

			Operator == can accept any implicitly convertible types, and can also accept any mix of integers and reals.
			Operators <=, != and >= can not accept implicitly convertible types(unless overloaded), but can accept any mix of integers and reals
			Operators 5, 6, 7 and 8 only accept boolean values(unless overloaded).

Its too narrow, and I find it a little bit harder to read than normal text. But this is not really necessary just because me, I can after all place the file on some free-hosted website, not that big of a deal.

The text is so tabbed because it is in 1.11.2, so 3 tabs required

 

[Cherrymage]

Just use [plain]<insert text here>[/plain] text.

 

[edo494]

a b

as you can see, it does nothing.

This is because [plain][/plain] does actually only stop parsage of BB codes

                        <pre> would be better and less buggy, though, but don't forget to escape.

 

[edo494]

well afaik characters are already escaped(<> has no problem), so I dont think that is much problem. And yea your suggestion is the closest so far, but eh imagine having 4 or 5 tabs replaced with 20 _

but I have just abused local provider of free domains(3rd grade domain or how is it called in english) and will move my file there.

Uh...those are not underlines, those are unicode s     p     a     c     e     s with a link.

oh wow, didnt notice that(thought its underscore, because links are automatically underscored). But the webpage is like half done at this point, so eh

Let's try this

Okay, it seems to work.
