I think the argument is not the 'how will it look' but whether or not special code is needed or not.

aaahhh, but the 'how will it look' was my argument from the beginning while your argument has been whether any 'special code is needed or not.'

remember the post above where I stated you could not even tell that the code feature had been used...1?:

One of the two following paragraphs uses the code feature. can you tell which one?

<th><b>Encrypt Admin Password?</b><br>encrypt password in config file to hide it?</th>
<td><input type=checkbox name=@ADMIN_PASS_ENCRYPTED@ value=1 checked></td>[/font]

<th><b>Encrypt Admin Password?</b><br>encrypt password in config file to hide it?</th>
<td><input type=checkbox name=@ADMIN_PASS_ENCRYPTED@ value=1 checked></td>

Can you even tell that the code feature has been used...!

Wouldn't it look so much better like this

Code:

<th><b>Encrypt Admin Password?</b><br>encrypt password in config file to hide it?</th>
<td><input type=checkbox name=@ADMIN_PASS_ENCRYPTED@ value=1 checked></td>

Ultimately doing [.quote][.code][./code][./quote] is hardly something complex, just perphaps not obvious.

Yes, it is not complex. Yes, it is not obvious. Yes, almost no one will figure it out. Yes, there will those who ues it and like it. Yes, there will those who don't use because it don't "set apart" the text. Yes, IMHO, those is the latter group will far exceed the former group, making the code feature irrelevent.

It is code and not some free form text. Generally, it will be used in post that lots of paragraph of text interspersed with snippets of "code." Wouldn't it look better to set off the code form the other paragraphs?

Maybe we could have a code_two feature... Twisted Evil
