Hi we have a lot of this Bounce not Working - Support - phpList Discuss where people post code in from some config file and all the commented out lines beginning with a hash become #bold - I guess due to the markup is there some way to change this? It’s driving me nuts :confused:

Use an actual code tag? Here's some code # with comments

ok, so I will personally do that, but other people are not doing that so I have to keep going in and editing. I guess that leaves me with two possible actions: if discourse could differentiate between code and normal text it could suggest they use the code tag OR if we can change the markup for b…

Users will have bad results if they paste in raw code without trying to format it as code. There is no way to work around this, no magical AI that can “detect” code and format it for the user. Two ways: Use the ``` triple backticks at the top and bottom to mark a code block Select the code th…

While it’s true that it would be very hard to impossible to actually detect something like code in pasted content and educating a user about that kind of content-handling would probably suffice it could still be possible to add some kind of “weird content paste”-detection. Let my try to explain: So…

I will just have to see how this evolves. So far everyone pasting code is not using code tag and they don’t take any action despite the massive bold headlines showing up in the preview window. I might just have to hack in some kind or note some where in the post window, or make a popup notice or som…

For your particular site possibly an interesting approach would be to run all “text chunks” pasted in via 4-5 regexes. For PHPs case you could quite easily come up with a few regexes that would be very accurate at predicting that a chunk pasted in is PHP. Then the editor could auto wrap. This would …

Another very interesting thing @gingerling that you can try is giving users a “silver” badge first time they add a code block. It can create some incentive to learn how to use the system. (this can be easily automated with the current badge system)

I know we have discussed this before with @cpradio … we did eventually implement something like this on Stack Overflow but it is kind of tricky. And that was a site dedicated to code in a way that Discourse isn’t, necessarily.
