is is the highliter from PRISM (see my link) and out of Freds hands.
I made the initial highliter for prism once in the past for my own need, and I'm fine with it.
And you are not willing to change it (no option you said), so, live with it or wait until someone else fixes it.
It's very useful to better read the code but there are very few codes using [ code-pb ] [ /code-pb ], including all former code.
Is it possible to implement it for [ code ] [ /code ] tags ? Is it in Fred's hands ?
Otherwise, is there any way to do it locally ?

Yes, this is in Freds hands

You can use
this user script from STARGÅTE.
[Edit]
Oh, when reading through that thread, I can see, that you are already using it, anyway, I'll keep the link in for others.

@Fred : Apparently the keyword "ForEver" is missing in the Syntax highlighting.

#Null$ its wrong.

I've fixed both in prism, but I don't know when the forum plugin will keep track on it.

@HeXOR - you have edit access to the forum?
When I paste
, PureBasic is the leftmost button and then Copy button.
If I paste
, then Purebasic is under the Copy button

How to make Purebasic always the left side button?
Code: Select all
Procedure IncrementCallback(JsonParameters$)
Static Count
Debug #PB_Compiler_Procedure +": " + JsonParameters$
Count + 1
ProcedureReturn UTF8(~"{ \"count\": "+Str(Count)+ "}")
EndProcedure
Procedure ComputeCallback(JsonParameters$)
Debug #PB_Compiler_Procedure +": " + JsonParameters$
Dim Parameters(0)
; Extract the parameters from the JSON
ParseJSON(0, JsonParameters$)
ExtractJSONArray(JSONValue(0), Parameters())
Debug "Parameter 1: " + Parameters(0)
Debug "Parameter 2: " + Parameters(1)
ProcedureReturn UTF8(Str(Parameters(0) + Parameters(1)))
EndProcedure
OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 400, 400, "Hello", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_Invisible)
WebViewGadget(0, 0, 0, 400, 400)
SetGadgetText(0, "file://" + #PB_Compiler_Home + "examples/sources/Data/WebView/webview.html")
BindWebViewCallback(0, "increment", @IncrementCallback())
BindWebViewCallback(0, "compute", @ComputeCallback())
; Show the window once the webview has been fully loaded
HideWindow(0, #False)
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

No!
Guess all we'd need is another code symbol for [code-pb.] tags
I even forgot the tag name now and tried pb-code, pbcode, codepb, until I found the right one, code-pb (murphy's law got me)
Or does such a button exist in one of the other board themes?
But it looks like a bug anyway, I wasn't even aware that there is a PureBasic box under the copy button (I don't really see it).

Not really sure this may help, anyway:
I use the [code=purebasic] tag (found long time ago by examining forum HTML source)

I always do code-pb and /code-pb, it seems to give me the PureBasic code block, at least according to my screen reader.

/code-pb works?
Try just /code

Oh, that's cool! I assumed BBCode was pedantic like HTML and wanted the same opening/closing tags. Think I'm going to keep using code-pb because it's habbit, but that's super neat.

Well, in case, it would be easy for me to adapt the """macros"""… anyway, just out of curiosity, do you use/know something that
easily lets you enclose (selected) text with opening/closing tags?
I mean, on windows…
