I am about to launch something I call 'The Springsteen Project'. I don't want to go in deep details, but it will be exciting, new, and about Logging - Let's say I will try to fill a long-existing gap.
I intend to do a 5 part article series which will be published on CP:
- 1 Concept
- 2 Component classes
- 3 Client
- 4 Server
- 5 Testing
I'd also like to pull up a project website, and here is the request:
We have Member badges. Is it possible to have an article hosted within an iFrame?
I know that this is a difficult request, since CP is financed by advertisements - You guys could just place the adevertisement banner above and below the article content.
This would have one certain advantage: CodeProject may become more attractive to open source projects, and articles would spread even wider.
Edit: Here is a quick mockup of my idea: SkyDrive[^]

So you're looking to create a live website and you'd like that to be included in the article as an iFrame?
Talk to Sean (sean@codeproject.com). We will accommodate. In fact keep in touch and we can do more than merely accommodate.

The other way around, I want to include the article on my Website.
Doesn't matter, I will talk to Sean.

Whenever you insert XML into a Q&A answer, it removes all capitalization. Since you don't have an XAML language type, using <pre lang="xml"> removes all the capitalization inside the tags.
This is a problem when posting answers about xml configuration files since the attributes inside an xml tag is case-sensitive. It doesn't allow the user to copy/paste XML/XAML from an answer into code.
See Convert this XAML in Code[^], I had posted the answer with XAML that has capitalized tags and attributes, but when submitting it turns it all lower case.
[Edit]
The preview at the bottom shows the code block is correct, with the proper capitalization, but after submitting the capitalization is removed. Choosing to "Improve Answer" shows that the text inside the edit box has the capitalization removed so something after submitting is transforming the text to lower case.

Let's try that:
<pre lang="xml">
<CapitalizedTag>Value</CapitalizedTag>
</pre>
Result:
<CapitalizedTag>Value</CapitalizedTag>
Strange, it doesn't remove the capitalization (perhaps because this is a message and not an answer).
EDIT: I found the reason!!!
Probably, you wrote something like this:
<pre lang="xml">
<CapitalizedTagHere>Value</CapitalizedTagHere>
</pre>
This will result in this (only in answers, in messages it gives a proper result):
<capitalizedtaghere>Value</capitalizedtaghere>
You need to change the < and > into the HTML entities < and > because otherwise, when posting an answer, the server thinks that your tags are real HTML tags, and removed the capitalization, but when rendering them, they are not real HTMl tags, so it will render the lowercase HTML tags as text. So that's why you need to use the HTML entities also in code blocks.

So why does it correctly render in the preview, but get mangled after submit?
Shouldn't the system change everything between the pre tags into HTML-compatible stuff? I can only imagine what kind of giant PITA it would be to go through a 25+ line XML/XAML file and change every < > into its html escape code.
I thought that was the purpose of pre tags?

I don't know the internals of the Preview feature, so I actually have no idea.

To avoid that, just choose "Encode HTML" when pasting your code, then it will automatically change < and > into its HTML entity.

My Tip/Trick[^] has messed up HTML-tags in the last code block. I can't fix them since the Editor displays the code block like it should look, but the display is a mess.
This is also another bug report for the Article writing editor, someone desparately needs to fix it.

Can we have the ability to create reading lists?
For instance, an ASP .NET reading list, in which I'll add a number of articles in a particular order. The top and bottom of each article in the list will have a "next" and "previous" page, and will have a little box for me to take notes (private).
It's basically like a youtube playlist, but is composed of articles that I can read. Right now, it's a bunch of bookmarks and there's too many of 'em to have any kind of harmony.

Nice investigation there. 
It appears to be the same site where CP articles are copy/pasted.

I just changed "Points of Interest" for my name in the query and the $%^&ers have taken 2 of my articles!

That's really surprising. I tried Marc, Maunder, CG but got nothing. And tried Nish & got one article but not his article.
Those guys carefully removed things like "Authour name", "About author" sections.
In those two articles, you have mentioned your name inside code, that's why you got 2 articles.
