BBCode Table

[DocAElstein]

Morning Pike!
The Daily ( Morning ) dose of ExcelFox!,,....

Yes hard question to follow as you gave a anticipated solution .. not the problem until post 12 .. guess I just confused the issue by initially using phpBB code.
Should have been code tags with noparse

_.......

_1 ) You came in at post #11. This was a long time after the Thread was, to all intents and purposes, Solved and finished**!. At the end of the Day I am very glad you did. - I now see an alternative solution to posting a VBA code containing BB Code Tag strings into a Forum Thread Post. . I am not sure if you yourself knew of, or had used, that solution until Yesterday? I did not. As far as I know not many people do. In any case I have never seen that solution. Everyone appears to use the alternative solutions of using for such codes ( codes with BB Code Strings in it ) a php or HTML Code Window. So how things developed here is one argument may be for not** having the ability to mark a Thread as solved

_2 )

you gave a anticipated solution .. not the problem until post 12 .......

Sorry Pike, but that is totally wrong. This problem ( Posting a VBA code with BB Code Strings in it ) was never the issue until you came in.
At the very start, when I came in, I addressed the actual problem, and emphasised that Posting a VBA code with BB Code Strings in it was not the issue. .......

@Admin
How do you get your code to look “normal” in a php Window .. when I try my code, I get something like this:

Thanks
Alan
P.s. ( I realize you use php instead of BB Code Window to stop the square brackets in strings in the code causing problems )
.........

I explained the problem there that I was addressing. When I had no reply I later gave a couple of solutions which I had found myself sometime later. They were not anticipated solutions. They were, and still are, final solutions to that problem. To re iterate ( repeat myself ) ..That problem was something else. That Problem is that if you chose to use HTML or php Code windows, then occaisionally carriage returns vanish.

_3) I think again, and really no disrespect intended, - you simply did not read the Thread through. That's fine. We are all here voluntarily, so we read, answer, as we choose. ......At the end of the Day I have now an alternive solution to Posting a VBA code with BB Code Strings in it which is great. I will likely pass that on because, as I mentioned, not many people have twigged to that. I will certainly referrence you and this Thread when I pass the solution on!

Thanks
Alan

P.s
Orange : The problem I brought up, and finally solved myself
Blue: The Problem ( or rather issue as it was not a problem ) which you brought up ( maybe unintentionally as you had not read through and did not realise that I had brought a different problem up and then later soved it ) to which finally you gave a nice alternative solution (- code tags with noparse)

P.P.P.s
In the unlikely event that anyone other than Me or Pike ever comes here:
If you wish to post a VBA Code that contains BB Code Strings in it into a Forum Post , there are three solutions I know about now (normal code tags with noparse ; HTML Code Tags ; php Code Tags )

_1 ) Use a normal Code Window, but include a noparse BB Code tag after the first code BB Code Tag at the start, and include an end /noparse BB Code Tag just before the Last end code BB Code Tag as follows ( Note: I using a HTML window to prevent the BB Code Tags "working"** ( which is normally what you can also use noparse BB Code Tags for - using noparse BB Code Tags would mess up in this particular example in trying to demo noparse BB Code Tags themselves!.)..)

 [code][noparse]Your code goes here[/noparse][/code]

_2) Use either a php or HTML Code Window ( As this prevents the BB Code Tags "working"** ).
_2a) Should you choose to use this _2) solution you may occasionally experience the vanishing carriage return problem. This was discussed from post #7 and solutions were given. The simplist is probably that of the code given in post #9 and #10. To use that you simply run that code ( which works from either VBA Word or VBA Excel, andprobably some other way i do not know!! ) just before pasting your code in. It works on what you have in the Clipboard and seems to may be "put something in" which overcomes the problem -( I am not sure what .. may be it just adds an extra cariage return which allows the editor to satisfy its desire to eat one, whilst allowing one to remain !! I found that solution by trial and error ! )
