How does one indent their code properly in a CGTalk post?
Everybody but me seems to be able to use tabs. What’s the trick?
If I copy out of Wordpad, all indentation goes away, same with straight out of the mxs editor:
Fn Function =
(
Code
)
If I do it in notepad I get closer but it only uses like 2 spaces:
Fn Function =
(
Code
)
If I use the built in indentation tools most of the time it creates big gaps:
Fn Function =
(Code)
copy-paste from max …
fn beautify = (
return false
)
?
Not a problem for me when copying from the mxs editor.
In the OP’s 3rd example that’s exactly what I get when I paste from mxs editor. Big double
spaces between each line.

fn postcommenttocgtalk str
(
format "[cde]
"+str+"
[/cde]
)

J.macroScript addselect category:“Edit” ButtonText:“AddSelection” ToolTip:“Adds to Selection”
(
global addSelecton
global sel = selection as array
if addSelecton != true then
(
callbacks.addscript #selectionsetchanged “if keyboard.controlpressed == true then (selectmore sel; sel = selection as array;); sel = selection as array” id:#pickadder
addselecton = true
)
else
(
callbacks.removescripts #selectionsetchanged id:#pickadder
addselecton = false
)
)
This is what I get when I copy/paste straight out of the mxs editor.
So you get colour? I don’t get that, but I do get tabs.
I get tabs, but no color when pasting straight from MXS editor. Are you using XP or Vista? Maybe Vista’s clipboard saves the rtf tags or something.
Well I’m on XP
XP here too. Just tried it in Max 8 and 9. Exact same result.
