[FM Discuss] Code formatting (was Re: status on Sugar Guide for 0.84)

[Anne Gentle]

If you look through the history on the chapter, it used PRE tags originally.
For some reason the Objavi PDF creator didn't generate PDF properly with the
python code. We're working on that issue but the workaround for now would be
images instead of text. Ideally, someone could make screenshots in the
actual Sugar interface showing what the code looks like in Sugar - Ed, are
you up for that?

Again, images for code snippets are only a temporary workaround. They are
not ideal of course. I unthinkingly just put the HTML code into a browser
and took a screenshot of that, instead of making it a monospaced font. Feel
free to change the images as you see fit.
Thanks,
Anne
