Not all BBCodes work correctly in this AskWoody forum, but I found the sample code for changing text colour in the ragic.com tutorial Formatting Text Using BBCode.  A detailed guide can be found on the php.com site at https://www.phpbb.com/community/help/bbcode.

trying to get a code snippet in a grey-shaded rectangle – doesn’t work

You need more text than can be shown on one line to bring up the grey box.

@paul-t:
Could you show me how to get a code snippet in a grey rectangle — maybe with an attached screenshot of what the coding looks like exactly?

In response to this note, I received a reply from PKCano with instructions on how to get a code snipped in a grey rectangle. (I don’t see his reply here, but it DID appear in my e-mail because I asked for a follow-up reply via e-mail in my post to @paul-t)

So here goes:

 put your code here 

Code:

 put your code here 

Edit to post: It didn’t work, as you can see — no grey rectangle around the code snippet, although the script was exactly as you see above. And lots of blank lines between the code and my edit!??

So now I am going to try using the “code” button under the Text tab.

put your code here

Will it work?

Edit to post: Nope! as you can see, there is no grey rectangle around the “code”; I know it’s not real code, but isn’t anything between the reverse apostrophes treated as code??

In the text tab:

Trying a real code in angle brackets:

reg add HKLMSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdate /f /v TargetReleaseVersion /t REG_DWORD /d 1 

Trying text with angle brackets:

 put your code here 

Edit to post:
ah-ha — so the “code” has to be real code. But there’s no grey rectangle around the code. Instead, there is a horizontal scroll bar. How do you get the grey rectangle around the code? I’ve seen it here on AskWoody. The grey rectangle looks something like this:

code here

The above grey box is via the Code button in the “Text” tab of the edit window. Enter your text, highlight, click Code.

Can you point to the thread that contains a grey box?

cheers, Paul

no grey rectangle surrounding the code here. I’ll have to look for a post in AskWoody that has it.

If you find it, put a link to it here.
You won’t be able to edit it, but I can look at how it’s done.

Using the attached instructions:

Code:

reg add HKLMSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdate /f /v TargetReleaseVersion /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Edit to post:
It looks like these instructions put “Code:” in the output, too. See attached with red circle pointing to “Code:”

You are likely trying to set a background color using bbCode. I checked across wonderful world wide web for this command and there are many variations — which I tried without success here.

It is possible that the command to set the background color is not available here. This may be a good idea as injudicious use of bbCode and some commands can break the forum.
