question: how do I get GuideML code in a text box?
The Artist Formerly Known as Nerd42 Started conversation Sep 27, 2005
At the GuideML Clinic and Picture Library, bits of GuideML code appear in text boxes. I'm writing a badge for my club/society and want to put the code for the badge in a box similarly. How is that done?
(and yes I've heard of the tag)

Yup! Anything you want people to be able to see needs to be inside the tags, anything that affects where the box of code is within your actual article page needs to be outside the tag.

"Keep the COLS as low as possible, using more then 50 will force the page to be 'extremely' wide and some browsers will mess up the page.
Try to use one TAG on each line
badge code here
this will give everybody insight in the grammar of the code.
It will also prevent lines to be broken by the limited-width TEXTAREA.
Increase the ROWS until there is at least one free line below. Different browsers use different Font-Size and some will still give scrollbars.

oh great something is really screwy with this. check it out:

<./>Test989698</.>
the badge idea is you can either add the simple green table or also an optional panel on the right with your character description. On the badge on the actual front page, the panel on the right should instead of a text box with the GuideML code of the badge. It's sort of like a fractal actually 
see what I'm trying to do and tell me why it's messing with my code if you could help please! Nerd42

this is really weird ... it's showing the HTML code, not the GuideML code ... that's really strange

"Just read my 'instruction' from post 2 on.
With new pages it is possible to use tags inside the TEXTAREA, but you really have to use the > and < to avoid them converted into GuideML.
Also some browsers will have problems with the hooks inside the TEXTAREA. "

what!? I never indent HTML or GuideML because the extra spaces have a habit of showing up where they're not supposed to in some browsers. I just try to keep my code as neat as possible without indents. I've got it working totally now on A989698 and it doesn't look too bad as it is I think ... Nerd42

(by the way, for other languages YES on indents, I want to murder people who wno't indent properly in other languages)
