BBCoder tool available

[Griffyn]

Hi all,

I'm primarily a Delphi programmer, and I've made available a little tool I use to add syntax highlighting to my code examples. It can also handle VB, and can be quickly set up for others too. I spend most of my time in the Delphi forum, and a lot of people are really liking this tool.

It comes as both a stand-alone tool, as well as an optional Browser Helper Object that once installed (IE only), will automatically add syntax highlighting whenever you post a reply that contains a code example (using the [ignore]

[/ignore] blocks).

eg.

[green][i]' for automatic syntax highlighting see faq102-6487 
[/i][/green][b]Private[/b] [b]Sub[/b] Worksheet_Change([b]ByVal[/b] Target [b]As[/b] Range)
    [b]Dim[/b] rReserve [b]As[/b] Range, rDisplay [b]As[/b] Range
[green][i]' set range
[/i][/green]    [b]Set[/b] rReserve = Range([navy]"A:Z"[/navy]) [green][i]'prices get entered in these columns
[/i][/green]    [b]Set[/b] rng = Application.Intersect(Target.EntireRow, rReserve)
    [b]If[/b] [b]Not[/b] rng [b]Is[/b] [b]Nothing[/b] [b]Then[/b]
        [b]For[/b] [b]Each[/b] r [b]In[/b] rng
            [b]If[/b] IsEmpty(r.Value) [b]Then[/b] [b]Exit[/b] [b]For[/b]
            nThis = r.Value
        [b]Next[/b]
    [b]End[/b] [b]If[/b]

I think it really aids readability, particularly for large or complex code examples. The colours and formatting are completely customisable.

Thanks Griffyn - looks useful

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.
