How do you report bugs or errors?

[Markus Winter]

For example I'm just trying to get to grips with the forum, and am reading about how to style your posts

But in the part about Code Display the following example does not show correctly as RICH in the code is not shown in red (and is not shown as red here either, BUT is shown in red when the code tag is deactivated):

Rich code:

(CODE=rich](COLOR=red]Rich(/COLOR]
code(/CODE]

Rich
code

Anyone knows what the correct syntax is and can fix the documentation?

P.S. Incidentally, I had to replace the square opening brackets with round ones to show the underlying syntax - how do you properly escape the control characters?

Like this: [code]code here...[/code]

Like this:

code here...

I know that and use that - but if you look at the page how to style your posts then you'll see that the example for "rich code" is not doing what it says it should be doing.

I thought I was pretty clear about that.

I'm current on my phone, but what's wrong with using the Toolbar.

Chances are it will not work though for what you appear to be asking, but it might do.

Seems it is a bug by the forum application. I never seen it is working before.

(CODE=rich](COLOR=red]Rich(/COLOR]
code(/CODE)

RED

Well I found that anything under the [ code ] is not colored as it uses highlight syntax.
You can color normal text using the color pallet,

I'm curious - why do you think the toolbar has anything to do with the problem described?

I would say "Rich Code" is a way to emphasise certain parts of your code, eg to highlight where a problem is. As far as I can see it is supposed to be applied AFTER the highlight syntax has done its thing, but it simply isn't working at all, even when you do not select a language (so there should be no syntax highlighting).
