How to post code on the forum - For absolute beginners

Just trying to contribute my friend!

Thanks!

Maybe it should be added that when you have problems finding the correct “back tick” character, you can also use the </> button right above the input field to insert a code-formatted block.

Hey, thanks for that. I do appreciate it. When I think of another one, I’ll get right to it.

Peace!

You might be interested in this. It’s not titled For absolute beginners, but it’s close enough.

Awesome

Thank you!

Still having trouble with < and >, actually < x m l _ l I n e > (without spaces).

<xml_line>

Or:

</xml_line>

I did:

< x m l _ l I n e >

and

< / x m l _ l I n e >

Remove the spaces to get my result.
I was given a workaround for this, but of course forgot it.

sdetweil

@evroom the workaround is to add a space after <

evroom

@sdetweil
Can’t be it. He said hopefully.
So when I have numerous lines of xml, I need to add a space after every < ?

And when doing so I actually get:
< xml_line>

sdetweil

@evroom yes… the space will show, uuuuuuuugly…

you would think that the three backquotes would turn off text interpretation…
but sadly not…

I’m posting to this topic in the hope that it will be read by users that are not aware of the protocol for posting.

Your code posts should look like this:

{
            disabled: false,
            module: "MMM-EARTH",
            position: "bottom right",
            config: {
                mode: "Natural",
                rotateInterval: 15000,
                animationSpeed: 0,
                MaxWidth: "45%",
                MaxHeight: "45%",
            }
        },

NOT like this:

{
disabled: false,
module: “MMM-EARTH”,
position: “bottom right”,
config: {
mode: “Natural”,
rotateInterval: 15000,
animationSpeed: 0,
MaxWidth: “45%”,
MaxHeight: “45%”,
}
},

Peace!

Thanks for this post. I am about to put it to good use.
