Summary of the report:
When you press the view source button (image below) the source of the post does not show. This is very important for unformatted code, especially HTML/CSS or very poor formatted code. With the source button, it makes it a lot easier to read the code and help. This is also very important to Python because of indentaion matters in the language. And using inspect element is inefficient and difcult.
Course URL:
All topics/posts on these forums.
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to any topic/post and press the view source button and it shouldnāt be able to view the source code.
Ah, okay. Iāve never used that and just use the edit tool to see their raw post. Did you try it in FF? Iām using Chrome and can see it does not work.
Does CC support any other browsers than Chrome and FF. I know this is discourse but I donāt know if we have plugins or theme (components) that would break it so it would not be supported.
I just found a plugin that warns a user before posting unformatted code. Havenāt player played around with it but it may be worth looking into and it could replace the button.
Off topic:
Never knew that and I didnāt even think that it had a name.
Yes, and a general purpose in grammar. Chances are we use it correctly only half the time, but it usually indicates that something has been left out (as in not visible or omitted) or that there is more to add, although the sentence may trail off.
The view source button referred to by @not-ethan, is the handiwork of Scott (@selectall), I believe. He created it, so the SUās and other users could see the raw text of poorly formatted posts. Mods donāt need it, as we have access to edit any post, and can see the raw text with that tool. Iām sure the tool Scott created is extremely useful to the SUās, and hopefully whatever was changed that broke it, can be undone, or modified.
Well, at least we are getting a lead on this. I will say If I remember correctly when this was working long posts with a lot of md overflowed because the rendered md is a lot smaller than the raw.
To add to the aside they actually have fun food related names
Yes it was indeed @selectall that created it. Iāll have a little look to see if I can find out how it can be fixed, but I wouldnāt want to step on Scottās toes, Iāll give him some space to fix it first.
button in the html, I get the raw text, but not where it belongs:
