Using lang for output
I checked on a few of the Java examples marked on this page and it looks like it is taking output snippets as examples without highlighting. I'm sure you figured it out yourself but I wanted to point it out in case you didn't notice yet. I'm not sure how to set up the criteria in the lang tag task so that this doesn't happen. --Mwn3d 04:46, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- is the <lang> tag used for output? that doesn't make sense. i think it should be <pre> or just indent. they all look the same anyways:
outout with pre
output with indent <lang>output with lang</lang>
- detecting if <lang> is used for output is hardly possible, one would have to analyze the contents.--eMBee 07:56, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- It shouldn't be used for plain output (use <pre> for that) but it does make sense for highlighting an interactive session using the solution. Have a care! (Also note that some things that mention C are actually mis-labelled C# solutions; there are problems with interaction with wiki syntax.) –Donal Fellows 14:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
