PSA: It is much easier to share code using the [CODE] function in the text editor.

Much like how when quoting someone it is easier to read using the Quote feature, it is a lot easier to understand someones code if they use the built-in BBCode feature. It also takes up less space, and allows seamless copy/paste to and from your text editor.


Its the difference between this:

# --- INPUTS --- #

#--CURRENT FILE DIALOG--#
Win = Windows()
Options1 = []
Options1.append(['File name to modify ', WindowsInputTypes.String, '<File name>'])
Options1.append(['Note: ', WindowsInputTypes.Label, 'Please enter exact filename.' + '\n' + 'Not case sensitive.'])
Options1.append(['Use part in current workspace ', WindowsInputTypes.Boolean, False])
Options1.append(['File is Assembly ', WindowsInputTypes.Boolean, False])
Options1.append(['None', WindowsInputTypes.Label, '\n' 'Press OK to choose file name/location.' + '\n' + 'Press Cancel to exit script.'])

Values = Win.OptionsDialog('Current File?', Options1)

if Values == None:
sys.exit(0)
File_name = Values[0]

#-- ERROR DIALOG --#
if Values[3] == False:
if Values[2] == True:
P = CurrentPart()
else:
try:
P = Part(File_name, False)
except:
Win.ErrorDialog('No file with that name found. Please open file and try again.', 'Error') + sys.exit(0)
else:
if Values[2] == True:
P = CurrentAssembly()
else:
try:
P = Assembly(File_name, False)
except:
Win.ErrorDialog('No file with that name found. Please open file and try again.', 'Error') + sys.exit(0)


And this:

# --- INPUTS --- #

    #--CURRENT FILE DIALOG--#
Win = Windows()
Options1 = []
Options1.append(['File name to modify ', WindowsInputTypes.String, '<File name>'])
Options1.append(['Note: ', WindowsInputTypes.Label, 'Please enter exact filename.' + '\n' + 'Not case sensitive.'])
Options1.append(['Use part in current workspace ', WindowsInputTypes.Boolean, False])
Options1.append(['File is Assembly ', WindowsInputTypes.Boolean, False])
Options1.append(['None', WindowsInputTypes.Label, '\n' 'Press OK to choose file name/location.' + '\n' + 'Press Cancel to exit script.'])

Values = Win.OptionsDialog('Current File?', Options1)

if Values == None:
    sys.exit(0)
File_name = Values[0]

#-- ERROR DIALOG --#
if Values[3] == False:
    if Values[2] == True:
        P = CurrentPart()
    else:
        try:
            P = Part(File_name, False)
        except:
            Win.ErrorDialog('No file with that name found. Please open file and try again.', 'Error') + sys.exit(0)
else:
    if Values[2] == True:
        P = CurrentAssembly()
    else:
        try:
            P = Assembly(File_name, False)
        except:
            Win.ErrorDialog('No file with that name found. Please open file and try again.', 'Error') + sys.exit(0)

I knew of this from other sites but it took me a minute to find it on this website. Click on the 3 dots in the text editor and you should see a button called " </> Code ".

You can use it by clicking the button then pasting your code, or by surrounding your code with [ CODE ] <insert code> [ /CODE ] (No spaces)

This will make it much easier to read other's code and ensure that you can copy paste it directly into your program and it will be formatted correctly.

Thoughts?
