test the presentation of code tags (again)

[Dirk Enzmann]

Enclosing commands or output snippets between code tags such as "[CODE]" (left tag) and "[ /CODE]" (right tag -- ignore/omit the space before the slash) has the advantages that

• you need not include images into your post which should be avoided, see FAQ #12.4 and #12.5
• content is better readable because characters (including space) are equally spaced
• readers can copy the content (e.g. commands) more easily

Example of pasted output without code delimiters:

---

. sysuse auto
(1978 automobile data)

. sum mpg

Variable | Obs Mean Std. dev. Min Max
-------------+---------------------------------------------------------
mpg | 74 21.2973 5.785503 12 41

---

Example of of the same output enclosed within code delimiters

. sysuse auto
(1978 automobile data)

. sum mpg

    Variable |        Obs        Mean    Std. dev.       Min        Max
-------------+---------------------------------------------------------
         mpg |         74     21.2973    5.785503         12         41

Code tags are accessible via the #-symbol in the editor's (writing area) toolbar; if you do not see that button, then click on the “Toggle Advanced Editor” button (an underlined A) above the writing area to show the toolbar.
