[code] tag?

Amiga1992 · 28 December 2003, 02:15

Look at my Amiga Chippack post. I tired to post it in a fixed width font so the .nfo file's attributes are maintained, but I couldn't. I used the FONT tag and marked it as "Courier" and then as "Courier New", to no avail, it didn;t work.

Would it bepossible to have a [code] tag like the one in the vB system, so we can type in .nfo files and respect their aspect?

You could try the <PRE> tag

Amiga1992 · 28 December 2003, 17:02

Hmm... I tried it, but it still screwed up the ascii. I guess I HAVE to specify that it uses Terminal and not Courier.

With a special CODE tag the Terminal font could be used, and the ascii displayed correctly. Like what scene.org or pouet.net have.

Thanks for the tip though!

How about the monospaced font? Or the fixedsys font

Amiga1992 · 29 December 2003, 01:27

They don;t work for ASCII. ASCII has toi be viewed in a terminal font ot Topaz for Amiga. Go to scene.org and look at any release pack or results file with ascii, like this one:
http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=%...s.txt&fileinfo

scene.org renders a graphic from the TXT file using the Terminal font. That shouldn't be needed here , but...

So far the <pre> tag does a fairly decent job. Thanks Kheph!

<pre>

//nfo data//

</pre>

should be enough for news page

Amiga1992 · 31 December 2003, 10:07

Doesn't work on my Mac because I dont have that lame Windoze font. So <pre> worked better.

I changed it again :P Now it looks great on me mac, and should look fine on PC with Terminal font but i cant check. Can someone post a screenshot?

khephren · 31 December 2003, 13:15

Jeez, the font tag doesn't care if you have a mac or a pc!

Change it to tag to . It will use the lame mac courier font since it won't find the first font.

RCK · 31 December 2003, 13:39

Khephren is right, you should precise all the font you need in the "face=" tag.

Moreover Terminal font should be avoid on PC because it is not a monospace font on PC. (see attached pic)

solution :

<pre>
</pre>

-> courier news on PC, terminal for mac, (or whatever is better)

I bloody KNOW.

The thing is, the mac doesn't have that Courier or Courier new SHIT,m that's why I cannot check.

I ALREADY made the font face tag specifying "Terminal, Monaco", I couldn't check the terminal part.

RCK: How about chaging it to that System shit. Please post a piccy.

Terminal part is bugged on PC, (not a monospace font, same result as the previous screenshot)

-> Please replace Terminal with "Courier News" for correct PC display.

Amiga1992 · 02 January 2004, 18:01

Ok ok, I changed it, I forgot to. But Terminal IS monospace and displays all ASCIIS correctly if its size is 6 or something like that. The other sizes are screwed.

RCK · 02 January 2004, 19:44

yep I know, it's what I'm using in the zone display

.crc {FONT-FAMILY: Terminal,Courier New,Fixedsys,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 8px,10px; COLOR: #888888}

Amiga1992 · 02 January 2004, 21:29

I tried specifying 6px as size and all I see is some 72 points thing :P

RCK · 07 January 2004, 10:48

I will code something in near future for this

(after eab3)
