Title: how to escape bbcode in posts [solved] Post by: tspacepilot on April 21, 2015, 09:40:40 PM I noticed that [code\] blocks in my PMs in my inbox have no syntax highilighting, while the same messages in my outbox have syntax highlighting. Has anyone else noticed this? I guess I can generate screenshots but if it's already known the I don't want to waste the time.[/code\]
And btw, what's the more elegant way to escape [code\]? Title: escape bbcode tags in messages Post by: tspacepilot on April 22, 2015, 06:04:54 PM Actually I figured out what was up with this. The colors appeared in the one message because there was a <?php somewhere in it whereas the other example had just some javascript. So apparantly the syntax highlighting in \[code\] tags has some heuristics for identifying a language or whatever.
However, my second question stands, how can we write bbcode tags in the body of a message, how can we escape them like when you want to write write < in html you need to write < so that the html parser ignores it?
