Topic: Make Codeblocks more different from normal text

I think it makes sense to distinguish code blocks better from the background. I think with the current forum color, the difference is already pretty good.

What is about code blocks for some single words (syntax: grave accent `)? Could you give an example of how this would look?

Good point. Because backticks and codeblocks are parsed different into html, we could make different formats to each possibility. Assuming the backticks are used to format a word in a sentence, we could make it as follow:

End Screenshot

The changes in base.css are:

In section pre add the missing lines and add a new section p > code:

pre {
    white-space: pre-wrap;
    background-image: url("../img/black50.png" );
    padding: 5px 10px;
    margin: 5px 10px;
    display: inline-block
}

p > code {
    background-image: url("../img/black50.png" );
    padding: 0px 3px;
}

padding: x y puts a little space between backgroundborder and innertext. x=top/bottom; y=left/right
margin: x y is for little space around the box. The meaning for x and y are the same as by padding.

The selector p > code catch only those "code" elements which are after a p-Element (when code is child of p). This is the case to all text in backticks.

While quoting the codeblock works not correct:

But this is a failure from the parser... I don't know if this is a main stopper for my suggestion. For the wiki we could allways implement it imho

Because of the failure while quoting do allready today exist, i've made anyway a new branch with this feature and a merge request.

This branch will also fix some failures with smileys. Screens how it would look like:

Codeblock in Wiki:

Smiley's in wiki:

The above shown possibility couldn't be made today, because smileys are ever replaced, even if they are in a codeblock.

This picture shows, that codeblocks will also work in the forum (dark background)

Which causes sometimes strange results. Nice that you fix it.

Code higlighting: I have never written such big code blocks in the forum that this would have been necessary.
