Entering Code into the Wiki

For constancy through out the Wiki, whenever entering SCI code into the Wiki, please format any code like this:

<div class="CodeBlockHeader">Code:</div>
<syntaxhighlight lang="sci" class="cs">code goes here.</syntaxhighlight>

Which will result in this:

Code:

<syntaxhighlight lang="sci" class="cs">code goes here.</syntaxhighlight>

Syntax highlighting will automatically be added:

Code:

<syntaxhighlight lang="sci" class="cs"> /******************************************************************************

SCI Template Game

******************************************************************************
rev.sc
Contains a cycle class for reverse animation. 
******************************************************************************/

(include "sci.sh") (include "game.sh") /******************************************************************************/ (script REV_SCRIPT) /******************************************************************************/ (use "cycle") /******************************************************************************/ (class Rev of Cycle (properties client 0 caller 0 cycleDir cdBACKWARD cycleCnt 0 completed 0 ) (method (doit) (var nCel) = nCel (self:nextCel) (if(< nCel 0) (self:cycleDone()) )(else (send client:cel(nCel)) ) ) (method (cycleDone) (send client:cel( (send client:lastCel) ) ) ) ) /******************************************************************************/</syntaxhighlight>

You use it in lieu of 'pre' tags. Because it acts like <pre> tags it will preserve the code's formatting without having to add nonbreaking spaces (&nbsp;) or line breaks tags (<br />).

This will make the code much more readable while maintaining/editing it. Other language syntax highlighting can be used if the language is changed in the code in the syntaxhighlight tag. For example, to use C++ highlighting you would change it to:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">

For a list of other language codes, see this table.

As usual, you can experiment with it on the Test page.
