But to include a noparse feature into the [code] tags would stop you from being able to colour, bold, italicise, underline etc.

[code] should definitely not automatically not parse things.

Actually, it should. It's possible to have it just not parse smilies and let it parse everything else, so I don't see why that wouldn't be the case.

As for syntax highlighting, that's included in MyBB 1.4 is it not?

+1, it's very annoying having to convert to spaces

I only really posted to comment on your nice tid

Code blocks should simply be tagged as HTML <pre>, which is a tag included precisely for that purpose and preserves tabs.  This is a more appropriate way to address that than any sort of server side processing -- because it tells the browser what the content is, rather than try to force a particular way of rendering it.

But WDZ would be way too lazy to specify all the emotes not to be parsed within the code tags

I can't see the need for it, it's really not that hard to use noparse tags.

I have heared of 4 spaces being used. And the windows default (old days) is 8 spaces. But I never heared of 5 spaces?????

WDZ can you fix it so that tabs are kept when posting?
1 tab = 4 &nbsp; please and thankyou

and no rendering of smilies

But isn't the Tab button designed to move focus to the next element, the Post reply button in this case? Ctrl+Tab and Alt+Tab can't be used either. Although IIRC, I've seen WYSIWYG editors that have the Tab button giving some spaces, not sure though. Also, no rendering of images in code tags please.

I think the solution here is an upgrade of MyBB.

Nitro just touched an forbidden subject

Surely it should be easily possible though, replace code tags with noparse tags and surround with <pre>?

I'm assuming this is meant for code snippets pasted in rather than typing code in directly.
