Template:Bcode:Example
The Bcode templates are designed to be included into pages as templates for specific formatting of code. Bcode is merely a shortening of Basic Code (though no relation to BASIC or Visual Basic) which represents the fact that these are very simple formats. They're paticularly useful for presentation of code segments that lack formatting via the <code>...</code> tags, e.g. TI-BASIC.
Usage
[edit source]- Call with
{{Bcode:name}}with name followed by the arguments, separated by the pipe|character - No
<pre>...</pre>tags are needed - Italicize variables or enclose them within
<var>...</var>tags
Available Templates
[edit source]There are three formatting styles:
- {{Bcode:Syntax}} – The syntax of a programming language function (or any other applicable use)
- {{Bcode:Example}} – An example of a programming language function (or any other applicable use)
- {{Bcode:Output}} – What the output of a program would look like if run
Syntax
[edit source]The first argument is the syntax of a programming language function (or any other applicable use) and the second argument is limitations to the code:
{{Bcode:Example|printMessage(''msg'') | Where ''msg'' is a message to output to the user, and ''msg'' must:
* Be less than 255 characters in length
* End with the '@' character
}}
The parser renders the above to appear as:
printMessage(msg)
* Where msg is a message to output to the user, and msg must:
- Be less than 255 characters in length
- End with the '@' character
