NXP FORUM ADMIN - Posting in forum problem- #include preprocessor directive text and angle brackets disappear

How do you enter something between left and right angle brackets in the WYSIWYG editor and have it display? Seems like a bit of a problem for posting C source code. Is there an escape sequence that has to be used?

The second include is cr_section_macros.h within left and right angle brackets.

#include "chip.h"
#include <cr_section_macros.h>

That's as maybe, but it does not answer the question.

Okay, so why haven't they fixed it yet? ;-)

Thanks anyway :)

So my questions still remain unanswered.

In theory it should be possible to get < and >, which are normally interpreted as part of the HTML syntax, by escaping them as &amp;lt; and &amp;gt;. Though depending on the skill of the programmer of this bulletin board it may or may not work.

Escaping once is apparently not enough m) &lt; and &gt;

I can see that in the normal portion of a post that the angle brackets would get interpreted as HTML syntax. However, one would think that there must be some method to preprocess the content being placed in a code block to handle the angle bracket issue.

Perhaps turning off HTML interpretation in the code block would work.

Yes, I agree, my posting was initially a test, and I was a bit surprised it worked at all.

Though today it wants them to be escaped twice, I'm a bit confused:

#include <test>
#include &lt;test&gt;
#include &amp;lt;test&amp;gt;
#include &amp;amp;lt;test&amp;amp;gt;
#include &amp;amp;amp;lt;test&amp;amp;amp;gt;

#include <test>
#include <test>
#include &lt;test&gt;
#include &amp;lt;test&amp;gt;
#include &amp;amp;lt;test&amp;amp;gt;

NXP, I was really hoping that the forum admin or at least someone from NXP would look into this.

Code windows are 'supposed' to support angle brackets. However, this functionality is unreliable - sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. NXP is trying to get an LPCware.com website update scheduled, which includes fixing this problem. Hopefully this effort will start soon!

code window test;  
#include <test> 
brackets <> should be in the above line < test > and <test>

hmmm... outside of a code block: #include <test>

#include <test>
#include &lt;test&gt;
#include &amp;lt;test&amp;gt;
#include &amp;amp;lt;test&amp;amp;gt;
#include &amp;amp;amp;lt;test&amp;amp;amp;gt;
