How to add Code Box to a thread reply?

[Falarin]

Hello WoWInterface community, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I see some people adding a code box to their reply. How can I do that?

[Haleth]

Press the button with the # on it above the text box. Or just type in the tags by yourself:

<CODE>textgoeshere</CODE>

With [ ] instead of < >.

Thank you very much!

If you wish your code to use syntax highlights for Lua code, then use <highlight=Lua> (with [] instead of <>) instead of a [code] block.

function()
   print("test")
end

Only thing annoying with that is you have to quote someone then copy the part inside to get rid of the padding and numbers. Reason why I try to stick with just [code]

Yes - this does make it harder for the other person to copy-paste.

And for the people replying over here, we could use [noparse][code][/noparse] instead of a hack like <code>
