Same problem. Is there a way to attach screen captures?

Hmm. Please try one more time.

Since noone here has posted this advice, which is actually not that astonishing in itself but since "here" is the "Article Writing" forum where a cpian such as myself, who has never "written" an article, can post feelings about articles and who doesn't know the whole story as a result. When an article goes into moderation for approval it recieves votes which on any given parametric pillar fall to either side of the post's approval space.
To insure that the "article" (using that term in a general sense for "post") is published, always package along with the VERBOSE explanation of any code, a VS project that will compile and run as an executable on a Windows computer.
Since I don't use any compiler other than VS and run an operating system other than Windows I can't speak for other venues delving into code.

Moderators constantly review Articles that should be Tips/Tricks (modest little pieces of code, sometimes with much to be modest about) or Projects ("this repository is the cat's ass and does <cursory description> <link>").
If the page where you land after clicking the home page's "POST AN ARTICLE[^]" was beefed up to explain what is expected in this regard, a lot of wasted time might be saved.

Article is the default... if it weren't, it probably would reduce the amount too.
Either empty option and forcing the selection of one, or directly Tip/Trick as default and forcing the active selection of "article". This way no poster could say: "I didn't see/know it"
Maybe post it in the B&S Forum?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yes, like the popup in QA that tells people not to post their homework. These warnings are like speed limit signs, only of interest to people who are interested.
|
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, it's easier to punish people for breaking the speed limit when they've ignored a sign than it would be if there was no sign.

This is why we have the moderation queue.
I'm sorry to say that no one reads instructions. This is a moderation problem, I'm sorry to say, not a signage issue.

For articles I know if I have code I can place it inline via <code>some code</code> or for several lines of code I can enclose in <pre><code>several lines of code</code></pre>
How about if I want to inline a fixed with font, say for a filename? Can I use the <tt> tag? Or what should I use?
Is there a list of font formats I can use in articles?

Is there a way to post code with line numbers?
Is there a way to colorize code (the way Visual Studio colorizes code)?
|
|
|
|

Unfortunately the only way to do line numbers is either to already have them in your code and put the <pre> block around it, or to add the line numbers manually. As for colorizing the code, you certainly can. There are a couple of ways to do it, one is to add the language tag in the code, the other is the use the dropdown to add it:

Can't you just add linecount="on" to the <pre> like you can in the forums and QA?
<pre lang="Plain" linecount="on">
Line 1
Line 2
Etc.
</pre>
1 Line 1
2 Line 2
3 Etc.

Hi,
Some articles have CPOL mentioned on top and bottom description.
But individual files in the source code have different license texts.
For example:
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
My question is when an author posts his code on Code Project, does his license override CPOL or the license statement in the individual file stands for the particular file and CPOL is for the files with no explicit license?

Does anybody know a way to get truthful live-previews?
So far nothing works for me, it always lies, so that whenever I click "Add A Solution".
I then discover that my posted text was modded from what's displayed in the live-preview.
Tried several 'pre' codes, its easy to get the preview looking correct, but it wont post that way.
If not, I'm ok without previews if there's anything I can do to keep the posted text from being auto-modded (it will usually be PCRE regular expression).

I use the pre tags extensively in Solutions and it always gets posted correctly. I notice that you have only posted one Solution, and it does not have any formatted part. So are there any actual examples of the problem you describe?
And by the way, this has nothing to do with Article writing.

Many thanks for replying.
Yes, I tried many times answering... https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/727990/REGEX-for-validating-URL
I tried at least 8 different times. The preview displayed perfectly, until I actually clicked the 'Post your solution'.
After that, the text was auto-modded, this happenned irregardless of how many pre tags I experimented with.
Im not sure what finally made the difference, I did change the default paste options.
And then I just used the standard pre tag (not ASM,ASP,etc), and it posted just like the preview.
Again, many thanks for the reply!

I've just imported a project from GitHub[^], and I noticed a formatting issue:
Source:
Imported:
Where has the <span class="pl-pds"> come from?

I've seen it on a few blog entries and projects. I am not sure the cause, it could be the way GitHub structures their language tags and the article editor spits the <span> tags out.
In any case, I have removed the span tags.

Very weird. I think I fixed them all. How does that look now?
