Common code sequences are translated into emoticons

Please consider some emoticon encoding that doesn't interfer with common code samples: E.g. in System: Tongue Tied

tring the colon and S are translated to Tongue Tied

How about enclosing the emoticons in []. So only [<colon>S] translates to Tongue Tied

the system is turning too much stuff into emoticons: look at the second reply here, where a method of the string class gets partially converted to an emoticon.

Good bug! Tongue Tied I merged these two threads since they are the same report.

Ewww, that is a bad bug! We're working on a fix. While we're in Beta mode, we'll be doing monthly updates to the site so we'll plan to get this patched with our first update at the end of the month.

Hey Lisa, when the upates go live you guys should send them my way and we can add them in the weekly announcement. We could let people know what issues they reported were fixed. :-)

This bug is not fixed yet. I see it around different uses of brackets, such as Idea and .

My workaround is to change fonts or do something to disrupt the rendering of sequences as emoticons. E.g., [i] and [n].

Also, what earthly effect does the "This post contains a code sample" have?

As of 11-jul-06 this issue still persists:

int[] intArray = new int[10];
for(int i = 0; i < intArray.Length; ++i)
{
intArray Idea

= i;
}

Hi Peter - does this still repro with the latest text editor?

Outside of code snippets, yes it still repos:

Object obj = myArray;

I think it will be addresed in the next version but I will make ure the RTE team knows. Thanks!

One thing that is common on other forums is the ability to disable emoticons for the post. It would be nice if you allowed it to be toggled like that. Any hints as to how it'll be addressed?

I'm not exactly sure what the exact implementation will be but the RTE team has confirmed that it will be addressed in the next release.
