Provide some padding around code blocks a la blockquotes. Difference

 

class A<T> { ... }

 

vs

class A<T> { ... }

So to gain the best of both one has to mix them

class A<T> { ... }

Not too efficient.

 

A downside of the monospace code formatting is that it takes up more space so code can sometimes look a bit horrible in the forums.

 

Also, I always manually create block quotes. Is there a UI way to do this, it's a nuisance.

 

...And then of course Haskell code formatting Wink

Just to add to this, I'd like to see line-wrapping for code blocks, or at least a resizing of the post area if the code line goes too far. Right now it just goes through the sidebar, making it very hard to read.

Or better - horizontal scrolling.

 

Also the code formatter removes additional newlines which is can make the code a bit harder to read. 3 successive newlines should be collapsed to 2 but 2 should not be collapsed to 1.

My name has 9 letters. Coincidence? I think not...

Just add the following to your User CSS in your profile:

 

pre.code
{
  overflow: auto;
  border: #ccc 1px solid;
  padding: 10px;
}

 

Or customize to your liking. Smiley

Oh, I didn't know that was there! Thanks Smiley

 

I would still like this to be standard though. Don't want my fellow c9 comrades to have to see ugly formatting.

Testing

 

Code formatting improved, or not

And a blockquote

it works, thanks Sven.. now if only C9 would assist by default Smiley

 

and my final definition that makes them look exactly the same

 

pre.code
{
    overflow: auto;
    margin-left: 12px;
    margin-right: 12px;
    padding: 10px;
    border: #ccc 1px solid;
}
