Article Writing

Re: technical blog with source

4-Feb-14 3:41

If I understand you correctly, we'd ideally like to host a local copy of the source (if it's under 10 MB) and then put a link right below that to github for "The Latest Source" download. Would that be acceptable?

Thanks,

I don't mind at all. Smile | :)

I was going to write this as a blog post then have it consumed by CP and I just don't want to step on any toes by including a link in the blog to github.

you want something inspirational??

How would you go about adding a code snippet on javascript?

Every time that I add it to the editor and preview the code its not there.

Is there a guide to how to add code snippets of this type?

Cite in format selector...

I think if you are pasting the code into the article editor, you would want to use the second paste option shown here (JUST for when you are pasting code alone, mind you):

Code Project Article FAQ[^]

"Encode HTML"

Unless you change all of the angled brackets from "<" to "<" and so forth, the <pre> tags will absorb all your code like a glass of water poured into a river.

If the article editor is hurting you, please feel free to email me your code and I'll be happy to tackle the process for you.

It seems that the Cite value in the format selector (in the editor) does nothing.
I tried several times but at the end done some hand-formatting via HTML...

Problem while hitting the enter key

Hello,

While composing an article, i was writing a paragraph. When my para got completed i hit the enter key.
But the moment i did that, my paragraph got shifted down from the top it self(not from where i hit the enter key)and the cursor placed to the very top.

So to go to the next line without hitting enter, i needed to either press space bar till the line ended or press the right arrow key till the end, then the cursor shifted to a new line. So how do i overcome this?

Thanks

The Editor is a cripple. Explains everything, but the Hamsters still refuse fixing the Mofu.

I'd strongly recommend you to download the template and do the editing offline, in a HTML Editor or Visual Studio.

Formatting contents of an Article

4-Feb-14 4:15

Thank you Sir,

Thanks i have downloaded the templates. I think i must also learn HTML. I am not ashamed to admit that i dont know HTML and i want to start a career in web development. How ironical!!! Laugh | :laugh:

.

I just want to embed an HTML statement in the article i am writing, just want to try out something.

Thanks for the template Sir,
Thanks a ton

Hello All,
I am writing an article. I just wanted to ask a few things:
- How to add a code block section to the code which we post? We can do so while submitting a code into the Question Answer section, but not here.
- How to add an image?
- How to add a quoted text block?

Thanks,
- Rahul Smile | :)

Sean Ewington3-Feb-14 6:46

- I don't think there's a button to toggle "code section begin" or "code section end." You might have to do this on an HTML level. So add a <pre> block with your code in it. If you're having trouble shoot me an email and I'd be happy to take a look

- 14 and 15 should cover that here: Code Project Article FAQ[^]

- If I understand you correctly, when you're pasting the text you want in a quoted text, the option of what paste type should automatically show up (shown here: Code Project Article FAQ[^]) and you would select "Quoted Text"

Thanks,

Respected Sir,

So the type of text i am adding should be an HTML? I tried doing so, but when i say the preview of my article. It showed up with all the HTML stuff(i mean the tags and all). I will try again. Smile | :)

Thanks a ton Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Hello Sir,
Now suppose i say:

 Hello in my Article, it does not show "Hello", but it shows what is written as it is, like this:
Hello when i preview my article. I hope that i learn HTML like this.... Smile | :)

Thanks a ton

It sounds like the angled brackets are getting encoded.

Make sure you're pasting it as Hello and not Hello

Respected Sir,
Very nice. Thanks a ton. I hope whether i can ask you whether i am proceeding in the correct direction?
Actually its my very first article. I read the FAQs about How to write an article?, but i dont know. I am just writing down what i read and what i feel.

I hope you will guide me regarding the same Big Grin | :-D

Thanks a ton

I think it is a great start. One thing I would recommend is given your topic, I would look around on CodeProject at articles on the same or similar topics. Make sure you include in your article: What makes your article different? What areas are you exploring that other articles haven't covered?

Thanks,

Respected Sir,
I am very sorry to trouble you like this again and again. My focus is freshers(people with a very little experience or no experience at all) should read this article. I want them to simply have a glance at it and be able to grasp it at the very instant they read it. Its no point using high end terminologies(they wont understand it. I used to be in the same boat Smile | :)

i am still). This article should be damn simple,to the point, expressive, attractive.

And yes thats a very valuable suggestion. Actually i am busy on a project, i am not able to give time to the article. This is irritating me. Well, i really want to thank you to take out some time to advice me.

And really sorry to trouble you with something like this.

Thanks a ton Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:
