Tabmow: Ignatius: it's mostly just commands and output from terminal windows... I don't want it to be formatted in any way basically.. Ignatius: oh, so you're after code formatting, rather than embedding the code in the page itself
or have I interpreted your needs completely wrongly? Tabmow: nope, that's correct Ignatius: Okay, everything you'll likely need for most text formatting is covered in this page http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TextFormattingRules
see the section on Verbatim Text
if that's not quite what you're after, you may want to look at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/SyntaxHighlightingPlugin Tabmow: Ignatius: I tried that... but it just comes out and displays as <verbatim> on the page... Ignatius: hrm
I seem to remember having this issue before, but I can't remember how I resolved it Tabmow: I went into the HTML and added the <verbatim> stuff and it looks ok now Ignatius: ahah, wonderful Tabmow: actually... all it did was just remove it completely... heh Ignatius: heh Tabmow: ohhh fixed it... I just selected the text and them selected Format --> Verbatim :)
Note to self, don't type <verbatim> :) Ignatius: ahh, yes, you'd usually only put <verbatim></verbatim> in the raw text
silly of me not to think of that
anything else I may help with? PeterThoeny: enter <verbatim> tag in raw edit Tabmow: Cool, all working now - thanks.
I will look into that plugin also. Ignatius: any time :)
