at the bottom it says "closed because the post is not ...", I'm not sure what that means, but it probably won't become publicly visible as is.

This tip/trick has 2 alternates that are in pending status. It seems that one alternate is a duplicate of the other (at least, it's the same idea but with slightly different code). I wanted to report one as a duplicate, but I don't see that option. I see there is a "plagiarized" option, but I don't think it is plagiarism, as I'm guessing the second poster couldn't see the first alternate while it was in pending status.

I don't think it makes sense to report one or the other simply because tbey are very similar solutions arrived at by different people.

So a third person could come in, change a variable name or some formatting, and then post their alternate too? I don't think we want the same alternate posted several times. And I'm also not sure about the reporting, but it seems like that is supplanting the ability to delete alternates outright.

I just noticed angular brackets that aren't HTML tags behave more intuitively now inside PRE blocks, so showing a code snippet with generic lists got much easier, no more < required here:
List<SalesTeam> teamsNorth=new List<SalesTeam>();
List<SalesTeam> teamsSouth=new List<SalesTeam>();
List<SalesTeam> teamsNorth=new List<SalesTeam>();
List<SalesTeam> teamsSouth=new List<SalesTeam>();
List<SalesTeam> teamsNorth=new List<SalesTeam>();
List<SalesTeam> teamsSouth=new List<SalesTeam>();
Can you confirm this now is intended behavior and will remain for future use? Thanks.
BTW: not sure what is going on with the coloring though, the above has no lang, lang='cs' and lang='cpp' respectively.

... and if it is intended, please fix the syntax coloring. Left and Right brackets should be treated equally.
Makes me wonder what it does with inequality statements.
bool foo = 5 < 4;
bool bar = 5 > 4;
bool baz = (5 < 4) && (5 > 4);
Edit: At least the fail is consistent.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

The weird colouring is because of the weird (ie non-) encoding of the brackets is confusing the colouriser. I'll make a note to look into that.
Sorry - dug in deeper and it's simply because in C++ we colourise < and >, but not in C#. The reason the < gets colourised is because we HTML encode that for those who forget to, but we don't touch the > because browsers are good at handling them.
I'll change my note to make this more consistent.

OK, sounds good.
However the main question was: is the "we accept HTML look-alikes and will handle them properly (i.e. escape them), so you don't need to escape generics any more inside PRE blocks" rule a given now?

Just out of curiosity: Are you building a library of code fragments you are planning to post? 
|
|
|
|
|
I've got a ton of rubble under the desk if anyone wants those kind of code fragments.
Ooh - you mean non-broken, things-that-work type fragments...

you keep code fragments in a ton? I prefer a disk, in my experience search works better on disk-based material.

It's more "We try and do our best to handle improperly encoded < entities". This is in the code and I've no plans to remove it.

I can live with that; I would however prefer a more predictable behavior, maybe a simple whitelist containing the few valid HTML tags you are recognizing and letting through, assuming everything else gets escaped.
Said whitelist could then be added to the "Using PRE tags" T/T for all to read.

Something seems to be a miss with the reputation points scoring
I noticed yesterday this user had ~99k but today he has jumped to about ~127k
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=456184[^]
I'm not disparaging this user, it just seems the point calculations are out of whack. The user only has 16 messages and 8 articles, which are old, not really that great and, in at least one case, completely plagiarized, however, he has a higher score than seven of the current MVPs and is surrounded by users with thousands of messages and Q&A answers.

Looks like the recalc involving legacy downloads may be underway.

I doubt that. The recalc might have some bugs, I trust they will be quite subtle, in order to elicit the right amount of discussions in several forums. And it isn't due until last weekend, this weekend, some weekend in the near future.

Yes - there was a bug we've fixed but not yet uploaded. The entire rep points will be recalculated this weekend, cross fingers.
