MyBB Community Forums

This comes from the fact that many of the boards that MyBB supports for Merging from use the [pre][/pre] BBCode version of the html <pre></pre> tags, and MyBB should have it as well.

Implements: [pre]Preformatted Text[/pre]

To add this tag to MyBB go to your MyBB Admin CP->Configuration->MyCode and select the Add New MyCode tab at the top of the page.

Title: Preformatted Text

Short Description: Implements the html Preformatted Text (<pre>text</pre>) as a MyCode ([pre]text[/pre])

Regular Expression: [pre](.*?)[/pre]

Replacement: <pre>$1</pre>

Parse Order: 1

Great idea. I'm surprised I didn't think of it first. lol

---

I believe the regular expression should be \[pre\](.*?)\[/pre\] though.

You are correct, sorry I forgot to escape them. I was getting ready to rush out the door lol. I trusted the community to catch any mistakes though.

Thank you, the code is useful in certain cases but i may add that just simple <pre>$1</pre> will break the layout for it will run over with long text. It needs wrapping and I think this is better:

<pre style="
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;
white-space: -pre-wrap;
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;
white-space: pre-wrap;
word-wrap: break-word;
">$1</pre>

Code took from http://forums.techguy.org/web-design-dev...-wrap.html

What would be better is if I allowed adding options into the opening MyCode tag actually (For advanced users); but yes, those options are good.
