Since WebBoard has some problems with preformated messages I wrote
the macro webboard1.vdm.
It tries to help formatting WebBoard messages with preformated text
parts and embedded < and > characters
(assuming that the only HTML-tags manually used are <pre>, </pre>
and <br>).
It is not really comfortable, but could workaround WebBoards
formating problems.
Usage:
- Write a message as usual, using <pre> ... </pre> tags to
mark the preformated text.
e.g.:
line 1
<pre>
line2 is < line 3
line3
</pre>
line 4
- Send it to WebBoard (via browser, mail or newsreader)
- Edit your sent message in WebBoard, using a browser
It now looks like:
line 1<br>
<pre><br>
line2 is < line 3 <br>
line3<br>
</pre><br>
line 4<br>
<br>
- Cut or copy the whole text into Windows' clipboard
- Call this macro (perhaps via shortcut on desktop:
c:\vedit\vpw.exe -x webboard1.vdm -c qally )
Within the <pre> ... </pre> tags the macro has removed the
line-break tags and masked the other '<' and '>' characters.
The result has been copied to clipboard again.
- Switch back to your browser's edit window
- Paste the fixed clipboard's contents into the edit window
Now it's looking like:
line 1<br>
<pre>
line2 is < line 2
line3
</pre>
line 4<br>
<br>
- Confirm/post this edited message to Webboard
