Copy&Paste in Code Project forum

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

Copy

if (bug)
  cry();

Paste becomes to

XML

<pre>
if (bug)
  cry();
</pre>

or

<pre>
if (bug)
cry();
</pre>

Which makes no sense in my view and is really annoying ...

When you are pasting, ensure that you have selected the "allow HTML" radio button below the "Add your solution here" editor window. Your paste will then not be wrapped in a pre block. In the Auto Detect setting, the paste will automatically be wrapped in the pre block.
