Can we make the CODE tag match the site?

[rustyjaw]

The "Making Myself Familiar" thread in testing got me thinking that it might be nice if the CODE tag generated text that matched the site (i.e. dark background, white text) because we're missing out on some useful features.

 

CODE is perfect for those threads that contain sales figures, or any data that should be aligned.

 

for example, normal formatting:

 

PS2 1 NEED SPEED: UNDERGRND Electronic Arts $54,549,890 1,120,576

PS2 2 MADDEN NFL 2004 Electronic Arts $38,025,800 784,347

PS2 3 TONY HAWK UNDERGROUND Activision $32,297,470 707,522

PS2 4 DRAGONBALL Z:BUDOKAI2 Atari $32,296,350 649,708

 

vs CODE formatting

 

PS2  1  NEED SPEED: UNDERGRND     Electronic Arts   $54,549,890   1,120,576 
PS2  2  MADDEN NFL 2004             Electronic Arts   $38,025,800    784,347 
PS2  3  TONY HAWK UNDERGROUND   Activision       $32,297,470    707,522 
PS2  4  DRAGONBALL Z:BUDOKAI2     Atari           $32,296,350    649,708 

 

Stuff doesn't line up perfectly in this example because I spaced the columns out manually (I think), but if this was copied from a source that had the info spaced out using tabs, it would work perfectly just by pasting it in.

I remember the CODE format setting in IPB's control panel, just not where. I'll look for it and pass it on to an owner to make the change.

I'm sure Joey won't mind taking care of this.

Nah think Scott and Romier can handle that stuff :-)
