You have to manually write the code tags out and include the type of code... Ie C or ASM

code=C ... /code

LG, just testing it out,,, sorry no luck at my end,,,,

Code = C
void Slow_Delay(void)
{
int i, j;
for(i=0;i<4000;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<2;j++)
{
}
}
}
/Code

Here you go..

C:

#include <xc.h>

unsigned char thingy;

void main(void)
   {
   while(1)
      {
      }
   }

here's the edit box before..

If we do code=asm, do we get the standard (?) Microchip colors? Or, should it be code=mpasm?

That is a nice enhancement.

not sure with ASM, yes it is a nice touch, i use programmers note pad II, so i like it as it looks the same on here as it does in that

I just did a quick and dirty test using preview, if that is an accurate way for a user to test. Neither code= asm nor code=mpasm work completely. Each gives colors, but they are messed up.

We use the software GeSHi to color code. More information on the languages is here:

Worked for me. Just add the http:// in your browser window.

@EM
Apparently Microchip asm is included (simply code=asm). Next time I have clean code, e.g., fixed with Pommie's Code Tidy, I will try it.
