Inline code snippets
It would be helpful if inline code snippets could be supported in ArcGIS Community posts.
Example:
While we can change the font of in-line text: for point in part:, it would be better if we could also change the background color to grey, etc.
That would make it a lot easier to read text that has inline code.
Thanks!
You can try manually changing things in the HTML source.
Just add "<code>" and "</code>" around your text.
What we should really be asking for is a button in the toolbar to get at this setting easily, since the setting already exists.
EDIT: Evidently, those are in the list of "invalid HTML" elements.
When I try to post with <code> tags, they get stripped out.
Yeah, I don't know why the <code> tags need to be stripped out.
It seems like forums from other vendors like the IBM Community forum use the same underlying 3rd party text editor that the ArcGIS community uses. But in IBM's implementation of the text editor, inline code snippets are allowed.
For example, I can enter a code snippet, and it will be highlighted in red, just like the ArcGIS Community forum. But the difference is: it won't be stripped out. The inline code snippet will show up in the final post without issue.
I wonder if ESRI could consider allowing inline code snippets too?
Cheers.
