Goal
Provide a =textarea markup to allow scrolling display of program listings.
Solution
Add the following to local.php:
$InlineReplacements['/^=textarea (.*)$/'] =
'<textarea cols="60" rows="6" wrap="no">$1</textarea>';
Discussion
The above code adds =textarea markup; any text following =textarea is displayed in an HTML <textarea> control box with scrollbars. This can be useful for placing long sections program source code or other "verbatim" things in a page. For example, the markup
=textarea [=
<?php
print "Here is some sample PHP code\n";
print "Complete with variables and other items\n";
?>
=]
produces
=textarea <?php print "Here is some sample PHP code\n"; print "Complete with variables and other items\n"; ?>
A useful feature of this approach is that many browsers make it easy to select the contents of a textarea control (for copy-and-paste operations) by using CTRL-A or some other keyboard shortcut.
