VBHTML Maker - Problem with indentations

[plix]

Hi,

I installed this add-in a few days ago. At first I thought it worked fine, then I realized that all my code is aligned with the left margin when I post it. Basically I loose all my indentations.
Any suggestion to fix that, or is it just normal behaviour?
Thanks,

Plix

No, assuming your code is indented when you write it in the VB editor, it should be indented when you paste it to the board.

Here is a small example of mine, to generate it, I ...

1. Placed my cursor anywhere in the code (in the VB editor window).

2. Through the menus in VB window ... Tools|Convert current procedure to HTML|OK

3. Moved to this post (below) and Ctrl+V or right click and choose Paste

4. Clicked 'Submit Reply'

<font face=Courier New><br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> whichsheet()<br>    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Select</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Case</SPAN> ActiveSheet.Name<br>        <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Case</SPAN> "A"<br>            <SPAN style="color:#007F00">'Sheet A code</SPAN><br>        <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Case</SPAN> "B"<br>            <SPAN style="color:#007F00">'Sheet B code</SPAN><br>    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Select</SPAN><br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN><br></FONT>

Can you copy my code to your VB editor then repeat the steps above and post in a reply here?

Here we go Peter:

Sub whichsheet()
Select Case ActiveSheet.Name
Case "A"
'Sheet A code
Case "B"
'Sheet B code
End Select
End Sub




By the way, apologies for posting this thread in the wrong forum initially (my mistake...).
Thanks for your help,

Peter,

The funny thing is that when I do a preview everything looks fine, it is only when I submit the post that I loose the indentations.

Try it again without previewing.

Peter,

Does that mean I should not do a preview before posting then?
Is that a known bug?

I don't know about that.

That is one work-around. Another would be, if you want to preview, is to do the preview then select the HTML code in your post and paste again over the top as you would most likely still have it on your clipboard.


One further thing to try first though. Go to your UserCP (left of blue bar at top of forum window) then 'Edit Options' (left hand column) then scroll right down the the bottom of the page where you should find 'Message Editor Interface' in the 'Miscellaneous Options' section. Try the different options in that dropdown. I generally use 'Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls'. Save Changes.

This is just a guess but worth a try.

That is the solution I will have to go to.

I tried modifying the settings: the indentations were respected but then I got stars (****) in lieu of the blanks between the marging and the 1st character on the line.

Thanks for your help with that Peter.

That is where I am at too. Generally I don't preview my posts (partly to avoid that problem) but if I do preview (or edit my post) then I simple re-copy the HTML code over the old lot.
