pre tag in bbcode

[VBCoder]

Is there any way for a user to use an equivalent to <pre> when putting in a message (eg via bbcode)?

If not, how can a user space out things when they type their message?

If there is no way, how would you create a mod to handle this?

ACP / Custom BB Codes / Add New BBCode
Title: PRE Tag
Replacement: <pre>{param}</pre>
Example:

[pre]This     has    a   lot   spaces[/pre]

Description: This Code allows you to use preformatted Text
Use {option}: No

Thanks, Kirbs! Knew I could count on you.

One bug, though: If the user puts a newline within the [pre] tag, it will get converted into 2 newlines on display! vB turns newlines into newline<br />, and, since it is in pre mode, the browser shows the newline as well.

Not sure if it does work 100%, but you can try out the attached Plugin.
File functions_bbcodepre.php must be uploaded to directory includes.

Excellent! Thanks, Kirbs - I'm trying to figure out the code. Could you explain briefly how it works?

Very nice Kirby.

1. Could you release this as a plugin?
2. while editting, if i switch Editor Mode back/forth many times, any break in the content get remove.
