How do I apply a code style?

[milkor]

Hi, I am trying to convert a paragraph of mine to a code style, like this:

Code: Select all

<b>This is a code sample</b>

But I cannot find that style even though it is in my CSS stylesheet. When my cursor is in a <p> paragraph, I do not see it in the Styles window. For that matter, I don't see it anywhere, no matter where I look.

I tried using the Insert > Code feature, but it is not working as described in the online help; my code sample does not appear in any type of output. I see the yellow marker in my working pages to indicate that it's there, but it doesn't appear.

Thanks.

For me the pre tag does that job.

You can also turn off the tags in your editor pane, or switch to text editor and use HTML character codes:

Code: Select all

 <b>test</b>

comes out as <b>test</b>.

Not sure I completely understand the question, but maybe this will help.

The <code> tag is applied to characters. IF you have a paragraph, AND some subset of text in that paragraph needs to be formatted as (typically monospaced) code, THEN you select the characters and wrap them in <code> </code> tags.

If on the other hand you're trying to format an entire block of text so that white space such as line breaks, blanks, tabs and multiple spaces between words are preserved, then use <pre> </pre> tags. See:

I'll note in passing that Flare doesn't make it easy to apply span classes such as <code> </code> to all of the characters in a line or block of text. The "trick" is to add an extra space to to the beginning or end of the line, then select all the characters except the space: Flare will then include span classes such as code in the list of available choices. That may explain why Flare isn't offering you the choice of code…(?)

Cheers & hope this helps,
