Socoder -> Web Development -> PHP Blog stuff

 		Afternoon,

Im updating a blog script me and a friend wrote, i kinda fell out with him so im stuck with the basic model.

I have updated a lot of it but just wanted a place to ask a few questions without cloging up the shoutbox.

My first question is.

In the blog contents i have it so certain html tags are allowed. how would i make it so i could, for example, use (code) tags to show code or other tags?

thanks

 		I had the idea of replacing all (code) entries with like "<div id='code'>etc etc etc" then replacing (/code) with the close tags, "</div>"

Will that work?

 		There are existing technologies to do this. First code should be wrapped in CDATA blocks and second you can use the CSS 'white-space' property to maintain whitespace within your code divs.

There are also pieces of special text you can use for embedding < and > characters in text. Instead of < you can write '& lt' (but without the whitespace). You can see more here.

 		I was kinda looking to write it myself, don't learn anything if you just copy and paste someone elses code.

I will google it and see what i can find.

Cheers for the CSS whitespace tip.

 		I seem to have sorted it so far, i just need a hand with the CSS, it looks like there is too much space between the lines but cant remember how to fix it.

 		Just a quick note, although <pre> lets you look nice and formatted, the reason I've used a text area, instead, is for copy+paste reasons.
Pain in the ass to copy from a none-separated area.

Consider making a BBCode.php file, shoving in a BBCode($txt) function, and then using that for any/all needs.
Organise now before it gets all messy later!
Because, it WILL get messy!! With [b], [i], [u], [url] and more, it gets insanely big, really really fast!

(oh, and to show a [b] on Socoder, simple double the brackets.)
