sorry about the anonymous post.

Didn't know that it would allow you to that.

*********************************************

If you don't allow the use of fudcode inside the CODE tag, it certainly reduces the effective use of the tag. There are times when you just want to show the code but there are other times when you want to show what changes have occurred in the code to highlight those changes to the viewer.

I find that we do the latter more than we do the former. Usually, members are just making small changes to a section of code in their posts. We sometimes start out with a section of code and evolve that code over a series of posts. We can use the CODE tag in the original post but not for subsequent posts. At least not if we want to highlight the changes for the viewer.

But most of the time we just post a section of code that we want to bring to the attention of the viewer. And we highlight just a part of that code to show what has changed from the previous post.

In either case, we cannot use the CODE tag and other fudcode tags inside the CODE tage to highlight any changes. Instead, we are forced to use the QUOTE tag. And since code looks better in the courier font, we have to wrap the whole thing in a FONT tag.

It would be nice to show what changes from one post to the next by somehow highlighting it. This would bring it to viewers attention so that they could see immediately what the poster has changed.

Allowing fudcode inside the CODE tag does make sense in that senario.
