I think that it would be much better if the forum were to use a monospace font. As it is, go diagrams look very messed up and are hard to follow in text-mode. Bringing in a monospace font would both make it easier to see a Go diagram in editing mode as well as when you click the "Show Diagram Code" button. Anyway, thanks for the forum Jordus. Hopefully we'll get all the old members over here soon enough  .

You can always use code tags if you want monospace: Code: . X | | .---+---+--- . O | X | .---+---+--- . O | | X And variable width is so much easier to read. Let's leave it as-is. |

I personally find neither one easier to read. However, code tags do not work while you are editing a message. What if the font that was used while editing was monospaced, but the actual font when posted was variable-width? That way, go diagrams can still be edited easily, but the site will still be easy to read for those who like variable-width? |

I agree I was going to suggest the code tags too, but then realized you're talking about editing posts |

Ah, I didn't know that you meant during editing. You have a point. Once diagrams are here, monospace will be much easier to use. I wouldn't be against doing it as you say. A truly excellent approach would be a full go-as-text editor written in javascript, but I don't expect that to come any time soon so monospace may be the right answer. |

Yeah, at first I thought you meant the forum's general font, but I agree that the editor should be monospace. |

I also believe the editing font should be a monospace font. |

. X | | .---+---+--- . O | X | .---+---+--- . O | | X So wrap you text with Code: [font=monospace]monospace text[/font] is that what we were looking for"? |

No - the problem is that the font used in the <textarea> part of the editor is not a monospace font. So if you're editing a go diagram, things look all wonky while you're editing it. It's not hard to fix (just have to edit a stylesheet in the theme). |

It would also be nice for the diagram code displayed below the diagrams in posts to be monospace as well. |

Actually I think he meant the diagram code which shows when you click "show diagram code". It's font was set to a monospace font that not everyone has. I fixed it. |

Doesn't seem to be fixed for me. Makes Malkoposting harder. Do I need to download a font from somewhere? |

I had only fixed "show diagram code" thing. The textarea in the editor should be fixed now too though. |
