Pastebin BB Code

Xyzzy · 2015-10-15, 21:07

We have implemented a new BB Code that allows you to embed a Pastebin snippet.

It allows syntax highlighting and a bunch of other features that we barely understand.

We hope this enhancement will make listing logs and code snippets on the forum much easier.

We are not sure how many pixels to give it for height. Right now it is set for 500 pixels. Suggestions are appreciated.

If this does not work for you please let us know!

Please try to break it. So we can try to fix it.

This could start a new style of posting on the forum. I like it.

Not fond of how it looks if your code has less lines than the size of the box. Seems a waste of space. Does it need to be a fixed size?

We didn't find a better option.

Why not just use "auto"? You can also use a percentage instead of a fixed pixel count.

That option only shows six lines.

That option shows six lines no matter what percentage it is set for.

Maybe we need to tune the height in pixels? Suggestions?

That option shows even less.

not really but Here's a comparison to a post I made in the Pari commands thread:

iframes are usually used for adverts. And AFAIK you can't get the height of the contents of the iframe because it acts like a new window inside the page. And each window can't communicate with each other, for security reasons.

It looks like "auto" makes the most sense!

The embed code that was working is broken.

Code:

<iframe src="http://pastebin.com/embed_iframe.php?i={param}" style="border:none;width:100%;"></iframe>
