JCV,
That's cool!

Question: Where can I get more information on interacting with JaPBe?

Hi JCV,

Thanks for the tool. Could you possibly make a version for the good old PureBasic editor? I am so used to it that I can't quit for any other editor

I updated the tool and much simpler.
Just highlight your sourcecode and press-c to copy to clipboard then call the tool and paste it here in forum. You can add shortcut to your PB IDE tools or as jaPBe plugin.

Who's going to pay for all the extra bandwidth that this brings? :roll:

It wasn't meant as a personal attack or anything. You're the one who has
to pay for the bandwidth, so I just highlighting the fact that using such a tool
would be adding to your costs, and not to anyone else's.

Sure, and we will handle it if we run into problems, no need to worry

Who the heck wants to abuse his browser as a programming IDE? What's the point? It costs more bandwidth but more importantly it increases loading times of large codes!

JCV · Post by **JCV** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 3:01 pm

Sourcecodes posted are usually in Kilobytes only. imho images posted like hoff for example uses more bandwidth. It just makes the code posted more readable.

Keep in mind though that not everyone may agree with your choise of colors

Well, you have to admit that this is a programmers forum and not a Hasselhoff fan board so it's likely that ....

Hey, wait a second! That's actually not true ...

aktuly, I miss the monospace font in such quotes.
nothing against some highlighting, but monospacing is important for me.

some server-sited sytax-highlighting in the native IDE colors would perhaps be nice...
