Inline code

[pythonmegapixel]

If I use a CODE tag, then

everything I type within it is automatically put onto a new line with black background, like this.

However, if you're referring to a single command as part of a sentence, then you don't want that to happen.

 

Example of the problem:

The first thing I did was to run the command

sudo apt update

 

then I ran

sudo apt upgrade

 

 

Better formatting, which is currently a nuisance on the forum:

Then I ran sudo apt upgrade.

 

 

Lots of other software formats anything between backticks as code. So `this section of text` becomes this section of text.

Of course, this can be done manually by changing font to Courier New but backticks are far more convenient.

 

Any chance this could be implemented on the forum?

I guess it gets to a point where it would be easier to just let the user choose between markdown and bbcode.

Pretty much only way is to either inserting those as images, or changing font. AFAIK editor is what it is, and any changes must come from IPS.

It's something that has bugged me for a while too. I believe that in theory it is possible to add something like that, but I don't know how much work would be required to do it, nor how practical it would be to make it have a good UX. I will add it to my ideas backlog, to assess in a bit more detail at some point.
