Post code test

Following the HELP steps. Simple select and copy from source, paste into here after a couple blank lines and add a couple blank lines after.

const char*macToString(uint8_tmac[6]) {
staticchars[20];
sprintf(s, "%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X", mac[0], mac[1], mac[2], mac[3], mac[4], mac[5]);

Using <> after IDE 2.0.0 Copy for Forum (Markdown)

```cpp
int8_t PCintPort::addPin(uint8_t arduinoPin, PCIntvoidFuncPtr userFunc, uint8_t mode)
{
	PCintPin* tmp;
	tmp=firstPin;
	if (firstPin != NULL) {
		do {
			if (tmp->arduinoPin == arduinoPin) { enable(tmp, userFunc, mode); return(0); }
			if (tmp->next == NULL) break;
			tmp=tmp->next;
		} while (true);
	}
```

Using {;} after IDE 2.0.0 Copy for Forum (Markdown)

 

```cpp int8_t PCintPort::addPin(uint8_t arduinoPin, PCIntvoidFuncPtr userFunc, uint8_t mode) { PCintPin* tmp; tmp=firstPin; if (firstPin != NULL) { do { if (tmp->arduinoPin == arduinoPin) { enable(tmp, userFunc, mode); return(0); } if (tmp->next == NULL) break; tmp=tmp->next; } while (true); } ```

As I mentioned else thread... the new Arduino IDE does not offer saving your code to HTML - I don't know why, but if you have an account, I'm sure they will look at any enhancement requests put to them, as their issue tracker seems to have many enhancement requests already recorded on their GitHub site.

Cheers

Following the HELP instructions on code posting, I never did it this way.

Turns an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.


Most Arduinos have an on-board LED you can control. On the UNO, MEGA and ZERO
it is attached to digital pin 13, on MKR1000 on pin 6. LED_BUILTIN is set to
the correct LED pin independent of which board is used.
If you want to know what pin the on-board LED is connected to on your Arduino
model, check the Technical Specs of your board at:
 https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Products

This example code is in the public domain.


 https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/BuiltInExamples/Blink 
*/


// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}


// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}

Now use the IDE copy for forum

```cpp
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
```

Don't see much difference.

The [CODE] tag preserves whitespace, that's all, no syntax highlighting... so, if you format your code in the Arduino IDE just the way you like it, then select it all, and copy for forum, and then... select the "<>" menu option on the forum, and paste your code in there... it will then be displayed with all the whitespace and indentation you intended it to look like.

Interestingly, the Arduino IDE 2 has the ability to copy formatted code, if the editor you're pasting into supports it - Try copy some code directly into LibreOffice Writer for example, or use the "Paste Special" option to see some options.

Cheers

Using both the <> (Code) tag above and the {;} (Source Code) tag above to show the difference.

Clearly for the new IDE 2, the <> (Code) tag is better. However with no copy as HTML, we have lost the color coding.

First the <>

#include <IBusBM.h>

IBusBM IBus;  // IBus object

/*
  For a given ESP32 serial port. rxPin and txPin can be specified for the serial ports 1 and 2 of ESP32 architectures 
  (default to RX1=9, TX1=10, RX2=16, TX2=17).
*/

//#define RX2  16

/*
  Read the number of a given channel and convert to the range provided.
  If the channel is off, return the default value
*/

int readChannel(byte channelInput, int minLimit, int maxLimit, int defaultValue) {
  uint16_t ch = IBus.readChannel(channelInput);
  if (ch < 100) return defaultValue;
  return map(ch, 1000, 2000, minLimit, maxLimit);
}

// Read the channel and return a boolean value
bool readSwitch(byte channelInput, bool defaultValue) {
  int intDefaultValue = (defaultValue) ? 100 : 0;
  int ch = readChannel(channelInput, 0, 100, intDefaultValue);
  return (ch > 50);
}
void setup() {
  // Start serial monitor
  Serial.begin(115200);
  IBus.begin(Serial2, 1);  // iBUS object connected to serial2 RX2 pin using timer 1
}
void loop(){}

Second the {;}

#include IBusBM IBus; // IBus object /* For a given ESP32 serial port. rxPin and txPin can be specified for the serial ports 1 and 2 of ESP32 architectures (default to RX1=9, TX1=10, RX2=16, TX2=17). */ //#define RX2 16 /* Read the number of a given channel and convert to the range provided. If the channel is off, return the default value */ int readChannel(byte channelInput, int minLimit, int maxLimit, int defaultValue) { uint16_t ch = IBus.readChannel(channelInput); if (ch < 100) return defaultValue; return map(ch, 1000, 2000, minLimit, maxLimit); } // Read the channel and return a boolean value bool readSwitch(byte channelInput, bool defaultValue) { int intDefaultValue = (defaultValue) ? 100 : 0; int ch = readChannel(channelInput, 0, 100, intDefaultValue); return (ch > 50); } void setup() { // Start serial monitor Serial.begin(115200); IBus.begin(Serial2, 1); // iBUS object connected to serial2 RX2 pin using timer 1 } void loop(){}

Now the same test using IDE 1. The IDE copy was copy as HTML which is no longer available, so before the {;} was preferred but now <> is preferred.

First the <>

Trying again, used IDE 2.1.0 Copy and {;}

void setup(){ } void loop() { uint8_t pin = 2; int value = LOW; analogWrite(pin, value); }

Now trying <>

void setup(){
}

void loop() {
  uint8_t pin = 2;
  int value = LOW;

  analogWrite(pin, value);
}

Now Copy for forum markdown and {;}

```cpp void setup(){ } void loop() { uint8_t pin = 2; int value = LOW; analogWrite(pin, value); } ```

Now Copy for forum markdown and <>

```cpp
void setup(){
}

void loop() {
  uint8_t pin = 2;
  int value = LOW;
