As designed BB Codes do not work inside of [CODE] blocks

[Ryan McAdams]

This is a must have for highlighting code lines...

I'm fairly sure this is by design but no doubt Mike will be along shortly to confirm.

That seems like a mistake...

Think about development forums, forums where people are working templates or other forms of code and want to bold or hue a line to make it stand out...?

You can use [code=rich] ... [/code] to enable formatting inside code tags.

public function isWorking()
{
	return true;
}

Nice one Shadab.
In all the years I've been using code, code=php, etc. I never knew you could do that.

Now to figure out how to make that the default...

That's probably because it's unique to us, I think. Never really looked elsewhere though.

But yes, this is most definitely intentional.

Why? What benefit do you get from blocking bbcode inside of the code tags?

 

[Mike]

It prevents code that contains elements that resemble BB codes from accidentally executing, thereby breaking the code.

Such as xenhrase / xen:phrase for example.

...can we PLEASE make this an option instead of a mandatory stance? A simple "disable smilies" checkbox would fix the majority of those breakages.
