this editor drives me bonkers! Thread

So, I have some code samples...

And I've edited it with this and the html box.
And I've read the wiki format guide for Preformatted Text.

And this shit just fails:
float C

I've tried
'float C' `float C`
{{{ float C
}}}

And everything else.

It displays as

float C

Why!?

Is ONST really translated to something? Well fine, I tried CONS too. Same deal.

Arg!

Well, I fixed it, apparently this works: float CNST = 666;
Yeah, but I'm leaving this post - just because I had to waste this much time.

I tell you, this editor (even if you use the html box) is bizarre.

I'm not sure I'm following you but putting quotation marks around something means that the datatype is a string.

The example code is (single space this - no matter what I do it disappears)
f l o a t C O N S T = 6 6 6 ;

What I see after edit save is:

float C

The rest - just goes away. Even if I use the html edit box option.

Oh...double Arg - it did it with _this_ forum post!!

Maybe its just my browser. Ok, it isnt, I just looked at it in chromium.

I got the formatting tips from:
Trac.moddb.com

Notes:

• {{{...}}} and `...` commands not only select a monospace font, but also treat their content as verbatim text, meaning that no further wiki processing is done on this text.
• ! tells wiki parser to not take the following characters as wiki format, so pay attention to put a space after !, e.g. when ending bold.

Preformatted Text

Block containing preformatted text are suitable for source code snippets, notes and examples. Use three curly braces wrapped around the text to define a block quote. The curly braces need to be on a separate line. Example:

{{{
def HelloWorld():
print "Hello World"
}}}

That is linked from the bug tracker pages.
