problems with vb

[Shoe]

Help! I want to be able to use vb code but not inside of [ code ]! On my board we post a lot of c++ code and have statements like arr[i] = i; which won't show up correctly (see, I can't write it unless I add spaces around the brackets like this: arr[ i ] -- which is impossible with a lot of code) So it turns everything into italics. How can I prevent this from happening?


Thanks

try to change the italicc, bold, etc. tags to something longer, that doesn't appear in C

or you could disable all vB code

John should modify the bbcode parseing to not parse any vbcodes after a [ code ] is encountered. The resume parsing after a [ /code ] is found.

I agree with you 110% ! This is a regular problem on my site, where alot of code is posted.

Where do I go about changing vb code as you suggest?

In the control panel...there's an option to add to, edit, or delete BB code...near the bottom I believe. :)

Well, yes, but if you want something done, there is always a way to do it with code. The problem is can it be done in a timely manner or will it be to slow to be useful

I had an idea that might've worked, but it probably would've FUBAR'd posts with more than one [ code ] tag. PHP doesn't really have a find matching brace/parentheses/string function, and creating one would probably produce extra overhead.
