Is it simple to add a tag that will prevent the forum software from parsing the content (e.g. )? It'd be easier than having to insert tags (open & close bold) inside something you're trying to demonstrate. The use would be similar to this:

[[b][/b]url="htt[b][/b]p://w[b][/b]ww.myurl.com"]My url[[b][/b]/url]<

It is simple, but it's probably just as easy to insert one tag inside another .... like this :

[url="http://www.v8central.com"]The best motor racing site[/url]<

That's what I did in the example above. It's fine for simple examples but not for extensive examples. It quickly becomes a pain.<

I think I've build something that might just work. Check the function NoParse in my inc_func_common.asp (login demo/demo if you don't want to register)
It uses the CleanCode function, which afaik is in inc_func_posting.asp ; so, in order to get this to work, you might want to move that function from inc_func_posting.asp to inc_func_common.asp, ór include inc_func_posting.asp in all pages. It seems to be working ; demo: http://www.oxle.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3117 (also use login demo/demo if you don't want to register).<

Nice! I like the DOS window too!<

offtopic ; for the DOS window, check the function ReplaceCMDTags in inc_func_common.asp (used in FormatStr, right at the top), plus the style .codepre in inc_header.asp<
