G'day from Australia.

I have just downloaded Dark Basic Pro and have some questions.

First question relates to the forum.

How do I post code?

I can see the



Command, but where do I put the code, and how do I end the code in the forum posting, so that I can add normal text after the code snippet?

Thank you for your help.

Paul.

You need to click the code button twice to create a start and end tag. Then put your code in between. In the example below, I have added spaces to stop the tag from working so you can see it.

Useful to know, thanks.
I find it funny you had to enter spaces to show how it was done

Yah, I was thinking I should add a 'lol' to the post. But, the ISO Latin-1 code is used everywhere, even in a code box and the edit box. Not realizing this at first, I already had to edit the post 6 times.

you can also get syntax highlighting by adding a lang parameter:

[code lang=dbp]
Insert code here.
[/code]

Anyone know why the arrowtrans.bmp does not show up? This is from "Hamds On DBPro".

lovecraft58, you need to create a new thread. This one is about posting code snippets on the forum.
