For some time, since Nabble changed the way Forum posts were instantiated,
they lost 'pretty' formatting.

I have managed to improve this somewhat, with /limitations/.

If you look at  my test post
http://forum.openscad.org/Test-please-ignore-tp31888.html  , the first was
Posted from the Forum, the second was a reply via email and the
Mailing-list.

In the first, I used the

/oops - pushed the wrong button - premature post.../

Starting from the top.

For some time, since Nabble changed the way Forum posts were instantiated,
they lost 'pretty' formatting.

I have managed to improve this somewhat, with /limitations/.

If you look at  my test post
http://forum.openscad.org/Test-please-ignore-tp31888.html  , the first was
Posted from the Forum, the second was a reply via email and the
Mailing-list.

In the /first/, I used the B /I/ & Link buttons and the

tags, (or via the 'More' button) to format code.
[only one slash - it wouldn't let me nest raw's]

In the second, I used email formatting and to set the .scad code to 'Courier
New' & indented.

The /limitation/ is that in a Forum reply, when you the pretty formatting,
it gets lost.
But I think the pretty original is worth the limitation.

That may be fixable, needs some Javascript coding (extract MIME parts) if
anyone wants to volunteer.

This has had limited testing in regards to email clients, so let me know
here is there is anything too wrong going on.

Example of the /limitation/, in a Forum Reply, lost pretty formatting when
using the quote.
