Thanks for the replies everyone! All I was asking about was lines that wrapped...sounds like most think that simply indenting will cover it off. It was a developer that told me to put in a visual indicator...why would this "bite me"? Very odd.

Code in the body of the text is easier to maintain in docs. Indent the line continuation. Do not put any character at the end of a broken line. Coders know that lines break. Non-code characters intended to visually indicate a line break will bite you. If the first word of a following line tries to jump back up to the end of the previous line, force it to the following line with invisible space(s) as needed. The point of the code sample is to present it in a manner that's acceptable to coders. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Art Campbell Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 1:13 PM To: Neil Tubb Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Indicating Code Sample Line Breaks I put each line of code into a single cell -- if you're doing that, just set an indent for the subsequent lines. I've never put anything at the end of the line and never had anyone fail to understand that a hanging first line and indented following lines indicated that the line wrapped. Manually adding a special character would be possible, but a real PITA to maintain... If you had to do it, you could create a second column to the right of the code sample just wide enough for a character or two and create a paragraph tag that would generate the symbol. And then only use that character format in the cell for lines that wrap. That would still allow you to cut and paste freely in the "code" column.
