Yee-haw.

Anyway, I added stuff so [ code ] tags now color C/ObjC-keywords, numbers, comments, &c. Removies smilies from within [ code ] tags.
<pre>
Like this:
-(void)method:(int)param
{
int a;
}
</pre>

mr_sonicblue · May 31, 2001, 12:54 PM

Lemme try:

<pre>- (int)coolMethod
{
return [self coolMethod];
}</pre>

EDIT: Wow, spiffy

Good work parallax.

One problem is that it doesn't seem to like edits. The thing is, if you put some code in, and then you found you made a mistake (wrote maine instead of main or something), you have to go back and repaste all the code because HTML isn't allowed in these forums.

Any ideas on how to solve the parsing problem?

And if I'm completely wrong, feel free to yell at me in formatted Obj-C code.

All you have to do is move the UBB-to-HTML code to where the forum thread is generated (which is where [B], [I], [URL], etc are converted).

Wasn't anticipating edits.

All I really have to do is add one or two things... I'll do that today.

parallax · May 31, 2001, 03:39 PM

tie raises a good point. I was going to include C++ keywords, but I realized that I didn't know them all :-)

List any keywords that you feel may have been missed. They're easy to add.

rwc9785 · May 31, 2001, 05:09 PM

That rules, will make things much easier in the forums.

<pre>int</pre>

int

gorgonzola · May 31, 2001, 05:34 PM

parallax, another suggestion.

Maybe you could set off the code with <HR> as it was done before in addition to the color/font change. I know that I always found it easier to notice it when it was set off with an indent within horizontal rules.

Anybody else like this? Or just leave it the way he's done it?

Yeah, an <HR> or <BLOCKQUOTE> and something like "code: " after it will make it easy to pick out when I convert HTML back to UBB.

Would you guys prefer an <HR> or a <BLOCKQUOTE>?

(Or any other ideas)

mr_sonicblue · May 31, 2001, 06:22 PM

To make it easy to pick out for reverse conversion, just put " " around the generated HTML.

And I vote for <UL> (or <BLOCKQUOTE> ... but that indents the right edge as well, which decreases the usuable width by 2 times that of <UL> )

rwc9785 · May 31, 2001, 10:38 PM

Try throwing in line breaks. If you don't want them too long, or want them a certain length use:
-------Start Code--------
-------End Code--------
or a simple image.

IamBob · May 31, 2001, 11:41 PM

Thought I should give it a whirl..

<pre>
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

@protocol SomeProtocol
- (int)someNumber;
@end

// ...
#import "SomeProtocol.h"

#define SOME_NUMBER 12

@interface SomeObject : NSObject <SomeProtocol>
{
}
- (int)someNumber;
- (int)anotherNumber;
@end

// ...
@implementation SomeObject
- (int)someNumber
{
return SOME_NUMBER;
}

- (int)anotherNumber
{
return 11;
}
@end</pre>

mindwaves · Jun 1, 2001, 01:27 AM

Not bad. Not bad at all. I love the idea. I just posted something in the deveoper forum and I am rather impressed. Good work!

parallax · Jun 1, 2001, 06:18 AM

Thanks mindwaves :-)
Yeah, I should add really @protocol to the list :-)

If you see any keywords you'd like added (like @protocol), just post 'em here.

parallax · Jun 1, 2001, 08:38 AM

<pre>@protocol private protected public this boolean
</pre>

Any others?

IamBob · Jun 1, 2001, 02:17 PM

<pre>#define, #include, #import, float, short, const, char // ...?</pre>

Looks good!

<pre>But when I type a really long line it doesn't seem to wrap and just disappears off the side of the screen.</pre>

Edit: I can't seem to reproduce it here, but look in the "Need help changing icons in Nib" thread that I posted to for an example (in OmniWeb).
