Just testing for smileys in the "pre" code...

 SELECT 1;
 SELECT (1);
 SELECT ( 1 )
 SELECT ( 1 );
 SELECT ( 1 ) ;
      )
      ;)
      );

Heh... ironically, you guys finally fixed the purple code windows by changing the codes for smiley faces a while back... the occasional aberrant smiley no longer shows up. My recommendation stands... drop the script that colorizes stuff and go back to these nice, simple code windows. The only bad part about the bloody things is the same problem they had before... in order to keep the code from coming out on all one line, you have to paste the code into Word and then you can paste it into QA with the approriate line breaks intact. Thanks for listening.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Sorry... the double post was my fault... trying to spin too many dishes at one time.

Hi all,

As the current syntax highlighter appears to not really be up to the job, we're trying out a new one. For the time being, we've just put it on our beta site. I've set up a thread on that site's forums here:

http://beta.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic761344-83-1.aspx

(Red Gate people reading this, you'll need a different link - drop me an email). It's now using the syntax highlighting engine that powers (amongst other things) Google Code. Our initial testing seems to look as if it's faster and more reliable than the one on the live site, but we'd like you guys to give it your best shot and see whether it is good enough!

Note that we haven't quite got it doing XML highlighting as well as we'd like yet, so you may have to wait for that a bit. Let's see whether T-SQL is handled ok first!
