Best way to display snippets 1

[snowboardr]

Im am developing a ASP help site, and I want to display snippets.

I could do them database driven, but I was hoping to display the output of the code. What do you all think about this matter?

sounds ok - just encode the snippets so they look ok coming back out:

going into the database I would use:

Function encodeSnippet(sSnippet)
  sSnippet = Server.HTMLEncode(sSnippet)
  sSnippet = Replace(sSnippet,VbCrLf,&quot;<br />&quot;)
  sSnippet = Replace(sSnippet,&quot;'&quot;,&quot;''&quot;)
  encodeSnippet = sSnippet
End Function

and coming from the DB to HTML I would use:

Function decodeSnippet(sSnippet)
  sSnippet = Replace(sSnippet,"''","'")
  decodeSnippet = sSnippet
End Function
