Hi,

I have some trouble with code posted without using backticks (i’m using a Geshi syntax plugin)

I noticed that the function “bb_autop” inside the file “functions.bb-formatting.php” adds new line characters before and after each html open/close tag (ul, li…). Responsible for this modification are these two rows:

$pee = preg_replace('!(<(?:ul|ol|li|blockquote|pre|p)[^>]*>)!', "n$1", $pee);

$pee = preg_replace('!(</(?:ul|ol|li|blockquote|pre|p)>)!', "$1n", $pee);

why is this replacement done?

Probably just to keep things tidy, if not you could end up with ridiculously long lines with all of a post’s content on.

strange is that without these replacements the posted code / content is formatted as well.

the make sense of you have all posted html elements without any whitespace.

Back to the reason why I started this topic, it’s not an important one right?
