Inline AS Tags

**TheCanadian** · June 28th, 2008, 12:16 AM

Would it be possible to make tags that put AS code inline with your paragraph text? So instead of:

Try using ActionScript Code:

Code:

flash.utils.getTimer();

it would be something like:

Try using flash.utils.getTimer();

And if we were really good, we could even make tags which link to the AS3 livedocs. So typing [asdic]flash.utils.getTimer()[/asdic] (or whatever tage name) would link to http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/...html#getTimer()

Just some ideas I thought were pretty schmancy.

I still think this is a good idea.

I'd just like to be able to edit my posts if I suck enough to not spot a type-o before I submit

Use the plain text editor.

I agree - this is a great idea. The problem with this is implementation and maintainance, but I will give this a shot once some of the other forum-related work has wrapped up

I still want my [font=monospace]code[/font] tags! I type this out all the time, and it could easily be simplified to [ic] or something for incline code.

That should be easy! I will add that tomorrow

**Jeff Wheeler** · July 10th, 2008, 09:38 AM

Yay! Thanks you (and the Canadian for bringing this up again).

**senocular** · July 10th, 2008, 04:18 PM

Oh ic what the problem is...

I actually did a search for incline tag just to make sure it was a typo and not some newfangled phrase cool people use these days...to describe inline code

Time to start!

Thanks for the incline code option Kirupa!
