umm the codes like catch(e) for jscript and alot of other things... i think for the [code] tags the only thing that should work is color tags and bold tags because they help out to show when you have edited stuff in the code but other than that i think no other tags should work

Making MyBB RC2 not parse smilies would require rewriting quite a bit of code, and I'm not willing to do that. You can use the [noparse] tags around the entire code block, or around each individual smilie.

In MyBB 1.2, smilies and MyCode are never parsed in code blocks (you don't have any options).

None, that I can think of. Smilies should definitely be disabled in code blocks, but it's kind of tricky to allow MyCode and not allow smilies.

Exactly my point!

Well, it's not as if someone made a conscious decision to parse smilies inside code tags...

I could live with parsed emoticons. Because that happens only occasionally. But I couldn't live with not parsing other MyCode like bold, italics, colors, etc as that quite often enhances and clarifies the actual code.

In fact, more requests have been made to auto-parse code so the syntax is automatically colored for example, than requests for not parsing emoticons automatically...

If one takes a look around the forum and look at all the code bits, you will also see that many times formatting is used inside the code tags to clarify certain bits, etc. Only once or twice an emoticon got slipped thru and was parsed...

in a nutshell: if the code tags in MyBB1.2 indeed don't parse formatting, I don't like 1.2 ...

Yeah, I still want to see that indeed, Syntax Coloring for Jscript, I don't think it would be very hard to do. You don't need big and slow libraries for a lot of languages just JScript then, cause that's mostly used because of the scripts...

It's not done yet, and there are some issues that need to be worked out, but it looks promising. I'm using GeSHi BTW, with syntax caching similar to how the phpBB mod works.

Indeed: that looks great!
Finally we won't have to color our Plus! scripts ourselves anymore.

Go go WDZ!!!

but... but... but... can we still highlight or emphasize a certain line in the code??? (<= which I actually find more important (and certainly on a support forum) than color syntaxing)

I thought you might ask that, so I borrowed another feature from the phpBB mod. Important lines can be marked >>>like this<<<.



Note that all the colors and styles can be tweaked easily by changing a CSS file.
