my home LCD does not allow this rotation (but the next one certainly will), so I could not try that in Linux. anybody?

Just don’t use the <code> tag - use <pre lang=”language”> where language is the name of the language you want to use (like java, php, perl, csharp and etc..)

I made the code button default to java. Here are some examples:

Java:

public class Foo
{
	// most awesome variable evar
	String bar;
 
	public Foo(String bar)
	{
		this.bar = bar;
	}
 
	public String getBar()
	{
		return bar;
	}
 
}

PHP:

<?php 
 
	function foobar()
	{
		// do something awesome
		$foo = "bar";
 
		echo "the foobar: " . bar;
	}
?>

Lisp:

; fibonacci series
(defun fib (n)
	(cond
		((= n 0) 	0)
		((= n 1) 	1)
		((+ (fib (- n 1)) (fib (- n 2))))
	)
)

The supported languages are:

actionscript, ada, apache, applescript, asm, asp, autoit, bash, blitzbasic, bnf, c, c_mac, caddcl, cadlisp, cfdg, cfm, cpp-qt, cpp, csharp, css-gen, css, d, delphi, diff, div, dos, eiffel, fortran, freebasic, gml, groovy, html4strict, idl, ini, inno, io, java, java5, javascript, latex, lisp, lua, matlab, mirc, mpasm, mysql, nsis, objc, ocaml-brief, ocaml, oobas, oracle8, pascal, perl, php-brief, php, plsql, python, qbasic, rails, reg, robots, ruby, sas, scheme, sdlbasic, smalltalk, smarty, sql, tcl, text, thinbasic, tsql, vb, vbnet, vhdl, visualfoxpro, winbatch, xml, xpp, z80

Have fun.

Yeah, that is how it is supposed to look except I don’t put the newline between the opening statement. Basically, just like your first BSD/Allman excerpt but no extra newline when opening the code block.

Actually, that is the BSD/Allman - the extra newline is just an artifact of the pre-wrap CSS attribute.

For PHP:

if (condition) { 
	do_stuff();
} else {
	do_something_else();
}

C# or Java:

if (condition)
{
	do_stuff();
}
else
{
	do_something_else();
}

code {
	color: black;
	background-color: #f8f8f8;
	border-top: 1px solid #ddd;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
	display: block;
	padding: 10px;
	font: 0.9em 'Courier New', Courier, Fixed, monospace;
	white-space: pre-wrap;
	white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;
	white-space: -o-pre-wrap;
}

The pre-wrap stuff seems necessary to enforce white space - like tabs to stick. If I remove it, the browser eats all the tabs. But the same attributes seem to add extra blank space around each line, and cause the block to break if there is a single blank line inside.

I very much prefer the K&R style. Practically, I like not wasting a full line for an open brace (vertical real estate is precious), but philosophically I view the open brace as part of the ‘if’ (or ‘for’ or ‘while’ or whatever). When I type a close brace, I care about the type of block I’m closing, not the fact that it’s a block.

Only blocks that I create purely for scoping get open braces on lines of their own.
