How to modify <code></code> function

Vaz · November 2007

Hi guys, I'd like to edit the <code> function. Could someone direct me to where I'd find it? I'd like to edit the function so it adds the following text around the tags: <dl><dt><a href="#" onclick="selectCode(this); return false;">Select all</a></dt><dd> & </dd></dl> So: <dl><dt><a href="#" onclick="selectCode(this); return false;">Select all</a></dt><dd> <code>MY TEXT GOES HERE</code> </dd></dl>

Hi, are you talking about the HTML formatter?

nope, just the default function which allows me to do


this

Can I just achieve my goal by making an edit to the css?

I think that what you just used is the HTML formatter that is installed here (try without!). And I don't think you'll be able to add tags with css.

Ah yep, that's it.

in the html formatter you should see a function call that looks like this:

$String = preg_replace(
	array(
		'/<code((?>[^>]*))>(.+?)<\/code(?>[^>]*)>/sei', 
		'/<(?![A-Za-z\/'.(HTML_ALLOW_COMMENTS?'!':'').'])/i'
	), //yet again, order is important
	array(
		'\'<code\'.$this->RemoveQuoteSlashes(\'\1\').\'>\'.htmlspecialchars($this->RemoveQuoteSlashes(\'\2\')).\'<./code>\'', 
		'<'
	), 
	$String
);

Edit what you want in the replacement array. In your case you'd want to change the first element to something like:

'\'<dl><dt><a href="#" onclick="selectCode(this); return false;">Select All</a></dt><dd><code\'.
$this->RemoveQuoteSlashes(\'\1\').\'>\'.htmlspecialchars($this->RemoveQuoteSlashes(\'\2\')).\'<./code></dd></dl>\'',

(changing <./code> to </code>, obviously)
