I [[russ_hensel]] don't know, perhaps the reader who really cares can export into a smart editor for reading. The wiki accepts some html, you might try just pasting it in. Perhaps someone out there has a tool or editor script that will do it off line. I realize that these suggestions do not help much, but it is the best I got.

Currently the fastest way to add c code to the Open Circuits wiki is to copy and paste the plain text, then add a "code" tag before and after the code.

Like so:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){

}

</pre></code>

We can also discuss the <code>main()</code> function.

Could you clarify the question a bit? What specifically are you trying to do?

Question 1

how do I add my c code to this wiki?

Currently the fastest way to add c code to the Open Circuits wiki is to copy and paste the plain text, then add a "code" tag before and after the code. Like so:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
    printf( "%s", "Hello, world." );
}

We can also discuss the main() function.

  • copy-and-paste the source into your favorite IDE. Then it will colorize the code in the way you are used to (which may be different colors than what people with a different favorite IDE see).
  • Perhaps you could try exporting HTML from your IDE (or some other off line colorizer tool or script) and pasting it in. The OpenCircuits wiki accepts some html.
  • Other wiki use a "source" tag that colorizes C code automatically[1]. Should we install that here at Open Circuits?
