Template:Code

{{{1}}}

---

Use this template when you want to display a block of code.

This template should not be used to contain verbatim macro code in the Macros recipes pages. Macro code must be plain, free of any syntax highlight. For this, use Template:MacroCode.

This template essentially creates a block of text surrounded by wiki <sintaxhighlight> ... </sintaxhighlight> tags, which are converted into appropriate <span> ... </span> tags with the right color. See the full documentation in Extension:SyntaxHighlight.

---

Since content that includes an equals sign (=) is interpreted as a variable, you must specify the code= parameter explicitly to avoid issues.

The parameter lang= controls the coloration, depending on the programming language. The default option is lang=python.

• lang=cpp
• lang=xml
• lang=java
• lang=bash

Many more options are be supported.

Example 1:

{{Code|code=
import LabRPS
import Part
Line = Part.makeLine(LabRPS.Vector(0,0,0), LabRPS.Vector(2,0,0))
}}

Result:

import LabRPS
import Part
Line = Part.makeLine(LabRPS.Vector(0,0,0), LabRPS.Vector(2,0,0))

Example 2:

{{Code|lang=cpp|code=
DEF_STD_CMD_A(StdCmdMyCommand);

StdCmdMyCommand::StdCmdMyCommand()
  : Command("Std_My_Command")
{
    sMenuText     = QT_TR_NOOP("My Command");
    sToolTipText  = QT_TR_NOOP("Runs my command in the active document");
    sWhatsThis    = "Std_MyCommand";
    sPixmap       = "MyCommand.svg";
}
}}

Result:

DEF_STD_CMD_A(StdCmdMyCommand);

StdCmdMyCommand::StdCmdMyCommand()
  : Command("Std_My_Command")
{
    sMenuText     = QT_TR_NOOP("My Command");
    sToolTipText  = QT_TR_NOOP("Runs my command in the active document");
    sWhatsThis    = "Std_MyCommand";
    sPixmap       = "MyCommand.svg";
}

---

Inside the code, neither the double nor the triple braces {{ }}, nor the vertical bar | are allowed because these are interpreted in special ways by the wiki software.

{{Code|code=
a = {{"A"}, "B"}
if a:
    Q = Qt.Ok | Qt.Cancel
}}

---

Using the Equals sign '=' within this template will result in a broken output.

---

The <nowiki> ... </nowiki> tags can be added explicitly to allow displaying these special symbols.

{{Code|code=
<nowiki>
a = {{"A"}, "B"}
if a:
    Q = Qt.Ok | Qt.Cancel
</nowiki>
}}

Result:

'"`UNIQ--nowiki-00000007-QINU`"'

---

We can also display all symbols by using explicit <pre> ... </pre> tags. In this case, no syntax highlighting will exist, but the code will be displayed with all symbols intact.

<pre>
a = {{"A"}, "B"}
if a:
    Q = Qt.Ok | Qt.Cancel
</pre>

Result:

a = {{"A"}, "B"}
if a:
    Q = Qt.Ok | Qt.Cancel
