Use the [code]...[/code] tage when postig code!

Question

When you're posting source code, enclose that code in the CODE tag so it is legible to other people on the forum. There is a BUTTON, directly above the Message text area that you can push to get a code tag to use. Put your code between the [CODE] and the [/CODE] tags and it will look much, much better!! And it will prevent a slew of people telling you to "use the code tag because we can't read it!" in stead of answering your question.
For example, this does NOT have the CODE tag:
public class MyClass
     MyClass()
          for(int x=0; x<10; x++)
               if(x == 5)
                    for(int k=0; k<10; k++)
                         System.out.println("x="+x);
                         System.out.println("k="+k);
               for(int g=0; g<10; g++)
                    System.out.println("does x even exist in this scope?");
          if(x == 3)
               System.out.println("Will this compile?");
And to compar and contrast, the following DOES use the CODE tag:public class MyClass
     MyClass()
          for(int x=0; x<10; x++)
               if(x == 5)
                    for(int k=0; k<10; k++)
                         System.out.println("x="+x);
                         System.out.println("k="+k);
               for(int g=0; g<10; g++)
                    System.out.println("does x even exist in this scope?");
          if(x == 3)
               System.out.println("Will this compile?");
}Also, for your information, if your code iterates through an array using the variable "i", the forum does this really strange thing of interpreting your "&#91;i&#93;" as an italics tag. Everyone forgets about this sometimes, it's not huge problem. But if you do think of it, when you post that code change your variable name so there is no &#91;i&#93; in it.
Alternately, you could leave the "i" variable name untouched, but edit your post so the square brackets get get through to the browser by replacing &#91; with the HTML code &#38;#91; and the ] with the code &#38;#93;

Someone has to say it every now and again.
Then someone will post How To Ask Questions The Smart Way, then some kid will post "You are all evil mean horrid people, go pick on people you own size, you stinky-poo-poo-heads. It is not the poor defencless newbies fault that they can't see the code button, no, it was there mums fault for dropping them on the head a large number of times when they were babys. Mean mean stinky regs". Then someone will flame the Defender Of the Newbies, then we'll take about beastiality for a bit, while flaming the aformentioned Defender. Then Someone will quote Monty, and someone else will post the lyrics to some 80s hair-rock.
