Code formatting removed by editor
-
Hello everyone, I've used some
<pre...>formatting features as described in Using PRE tags on Code Project. This worked fine until Smitha Vijayan changed it. All highlighting, background and foreground as described in Using PRE tags on Code Project got removed. I was counting in my tips to have these settings respected by the editors. It's a bit annoying that these changes get silently done - no email, no message - nothing. Please have a look at the two versions:What can I count on when writing an tip? Is the above mentioned article about formatting in the
<pre...>respected by the editors too? I would very much appreciate... Cheers Andi PS: How can I get the formatting restored - it's quite some work to redo (I did not find any way to get to the sources of the former version that was still ok). -

I haven't had a chance to look closely at both versions, but can I assume the latest version has updated content, but that you want the formatting to reflect what was in the previous version?

Hello Chris, I don't get exactly your last question. If you ask what kind of formatting I was using that got removed, here are the ones:
-
<pre lang="cs">...<span class='highlight'>...</span>...</pre>
-
<pre lang="text" style="background: black; color: white;">...</pre>
some console output...
I know of the issues with too many formatting features applied, but I think the above is more helpful than the one below:
-
<pre lang="cs">...<span class='highlight'>...</span>...</pre>
-
<pre lang="text" style="background: black; color: white;">...</pre>
some console output...
Cheers Andi

A couple of things. 1. When you post an article, you can include notes for editors. If you have none standard formatting that you want preserving you should set this. 2. Why did you name the editor? There was no need for that. It serves to make your post look vindictive.
