I’m developing a theme component where I would like to do something similar to: [code] main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); } [/code] which yields: main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); } I’m using api.decorateCooked() for this, but since the content is already cooked all “redundant” space has been…

To get access to raw you are going to need to use a plugin. What you can do though is use the wrap helper, that way you have a div to work with. [wrap=test] hello world [/wrap] Renders to: <div class="d-wrap" data-wrap="test"> <p>hello world</p> </div>

Thanks. Is it possible to install a custom plugin in a Discourse instance hosted by Discourse on a free plan? I haven’t found out how anyway. Would it be possible to implement support for raw for theme components? If so, would you accept a PR to do so? The wrap helper does not do what I asked for…

Sadly our free, standard and business tiers do not allow for custom plugins. We use a cluster that hosts many different customers we have no mechanism of running a plugin just for one customer. Supporting the ability to inject a markdown extension via a theme component is something I have thought a…

Extremely hard also for you or just for someone like me without prior knowledge of the implementation? I what lies the hardness? Would it be easier to do something simpler than a full markdown extension such as read-only access to raw? Yes, this might be an option. Thanks.

@sam Thanks for your help. Your suggestion turned out well and gave a pretty decent syntax for the user as well: [Screenshot from 2020-05-04 13-40-01] :sunglasses:

Just to be clear, you do know that if what you really want is coffee blocks you can wrap code blocks with three back ticks, right? I can’t tell to what degree your example is a metaphor.

@pfaffman I don’t know what you mean by coffee blocks, but yes, I do know that three backticks generate a code block. I don’t know why my example should be a metaphor. For what? The image I posted is a screenshot to show what my theme component generates for the given code.

Sorry. coffee and code are almost the same on my mobile keyboard. It got them wrong every time when I wrote they sentence! I have looked and looked and I don’t see from your example what is different between your image and a standard code block.

There is also Discourse Graphviz, which, I think still doesn’t solve your problem since your can’t install a plugin.
