Title: Print source code list in color...
Post by: Hark0 on 2011-Mar-09
Hi!

I would like to propose an optional feature for the print section.

Currently, when sending a print source code, it displays black and white text. I tried to print a color printer (and also a PDF file) but does not show the font colors, etc ...

Would it be possible to add the option to print listings in colors as shown in the IDE?

Thanks in advance.

;)

Useless offtopic trivia time!

Want to know what's the most expensive liquid on planet Earth?
Oil? Blood?
No! Printer ink.

Carry on...

[But color printing to PDF could be useful for tutorials etc.]

I'm also old-school programmer but I stopped with paper when I stopped with RPG400 on form-paper :-) Did you try my code-coloring tool?

It has now been converted for the forums so just paste into a forums post and preview :-)
I don't have an offline version since it's written in PHP.

The link don't work for me... :S

You don't need the link, just paste the code into the forum editor with (code=glbasic)(/code) blocks around it (square brackets, not round).

Code (glbasic) Select

// example test
FOR x = 0 TO 10
    a$ = a$ + x
NEXT


The old link does not work because I'm tired of fighting with that lousy 110mb.com "free" homepages. I payed for it but it took them 5 month to get it running when they first managed to kill it. Still waiting for it to come up again after the last problem. Now my own server is having troubles reaching internet between 7 and 21 the whole week because of the state is redoing all the fiber-welds thru the whole county. Don't ask me why they think redundancy can't work with four fiber-pairs and welding one pair at a time...
