Hello,
I'm writing a software to share Livecode scripts with syntax highlithing. I obtained my goal on HTML, now I'm upgrading it with phpbb version (like this forum). This is a possible result:
on mouseUp
#copy text
set the text of field field1 to temp
copy word 1 to -1 of field field1
set the visible of field "avviso" to true
wait 1 second
set the visible of field "avviso" to false
end mouseUp
Do you have any idea to mantain code indentation (spaces)?

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but maybe something like this:
Code: Select all
replace space with " " in myVariable

No, it works only on html, not on this forum.

Hi Max,
Its a great idea to have code indentation in forum post. Unfortunately, the default phpBB install does not support indentation/tabs but I have since added a custom indent BBCode that allows indentation. This is should now be available from the custom BBcode menu bar. If you wish to add this to your LiveCode script, the following is the code used
Please see below your script with indentation applied-
on mouseUp
#copy text
set the text of field field1 to temp
copy word 1 to -1 of field field1
set the visible of field "avviso" to true
wait 1 second
set the visible of field "avviso" to false
end mouseUp
Kind Regards,
Neil Roger

Hi Neil,
what do you think of
http://qbnz.com/highlighter/ ? It's a mod for phpbb to add sytax highlighting to every code posted (it supports over 100 programming languages).
If you confirm me that it could be applied to this forum, I could start to work on the livecode parser file.
Please let me know

@MaxV
Great code, as always
@Neil
The new indent-tag is really useful, one now doesn't has to use this often lists.
For single lines I used option-space (this works, is effectively your ' ').
Hope you are fine (and the LC user offspring).
