I think Marius was thinking of alternatives and is open to ideas, but like
us all we have our real work to do. Any alternative would need to meet both
the forum and mailing-list core users requirements.

Most places I have been, some variant of the Simple Machines Forum work
much better. Examples:

http://forums.codeblocks.org/
http://www.printrbottalk.com/forum/
http://www.kisslicertalk.com/

Having a mailing list is a good thing of course. I think you can have
both, e.g. http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2843

Another alternative is to italicise the code.

/

i=true;
linear_extrude(height=50,center=true,convexity=10,twist=5)
translate([-30,-5,0])
text("Italics rule!",font="Liberation Sans:style=Bold Italic");

/
Italicizing the code is not an option when you need a fixed width font.

There are plenty of fixed width fonts which italicize

How does one specify a font? Is the font tag accepted?
