C++ code formatting problems
-
Thanks for the report. This, and the 'fix' by @David-ONeil in his response, my help us understand a tricky issue.
"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."
Great, I have been planning to write a couple of articles since February, so for me this is a real showstopper.

I was hoping that someone would fix the C++ pretty printing code. In an ideal world, I would like to just embed plain C++ code in an article or answer:
#include
Currently; even pasting, and then choosing encode as HTML runs into problems:
#include <stdlib.h>
Yesterday I tried embedding some code in a reply, [The Lounge](https://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5813474/Re-Talk-about-demoralizing), and as all can see, this did not work all that well. Best regards Espen Harlinn

I found that if your editor copies your code as something other than plain text (markup or whatever), like VS Code does, CP will have problems with pasting it into code panels. My workaround is to first paste into notepad to strip all the extra junk and then copy it from notepad to the site.

That is probably worth an attempt …
#include
#include<std.lib>
'Use Markdown formatting' still interferes with how the text inside <pre>...</pre> element is interpreted, and so it seems like the solution I was looking for is rather simple: Uncheck 'Use Markdown formatting'. Hopefully this will also be the case for the article editor.

Interestingly the issue was you had the "Use Markdown" checkbox checked. If you uncheck that, or use
```C++
...```
in Markdown, then it works fine. (I've edited your post to fix the formatting) Not sure what's going on, but it could be our Markdown processor (MarkdownSharp) doesn't like some of the character encoding.

Right, noticed that after Richards post. Unchecking 'Use Markdown' seems to work for most cases. Now, here is another, probably unrelated, formatting issue:
long long value = 1'000'000'000;
for(long long i = 0; i < value; ++i)
{
...
}and this would probably look better with a bit more color:
template
inline constexpr bool IsReference = std::is_same_v< std::remove_volatile_t> , std::remove_reference_t>>> == false;template
concept StreamIO = ( StreamReader && StreamWriter );template
concept StreamSeek = requires( T t, long long offset, SeekOrigin seekOrigin )
{
{ t.Seek( offset, seekOrigin ) }->std::convertible_to;
};template
concept StreamFeatureTests = requires( T t )
{
{ t.CanRead( ) } ->std::convertible_to;
{ t.CanSeek( ) } ->std::convertible_to;
{ t.CanTimeout( ) } ->std::convertible_to;
{ t.CanWrite( ) } ->std::convertible_to;
};But you are essentially right, unchecking 'Use Markdown' seems to do the trick :-)

Ugh. The apostrophe separated numbers are just...ugh. Comma separated, underscore separated. They are easy. But reusing a string delimiter for numbers means things get a little messy. I'll add the other case to our test rig and work out what's happening. I suspect the nest templates are blowing it's poor little brain.

Workarounds for Code Project's Text Editor[^] :rolleyes: Although the one of SQL was fixed... I suppose I should edit it, but I am lazy ;P
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thanks Nelek, I've seen it before :-)

He likes it with commas. 1'000'000'000'000 versus 1,000,000,000,000 Second one should not give formatting problems.
