Publishing Source Code (1)

Sharing code is the best way to teach each other

This fat web page contains the includeSourceCode script object. Use the 'Get Page Data' command from the Scripts menu to copy includeSourceCode into your object database. Also available: info about fat pages and the Terms under which you can use this script.

After announcing the "glossRename" script on the Frontier-Beginners list, Matt Neuburg suggested that I put my code up on the list so everyone could see it. As well as here on this site.

I thought it was a good idea.

I remember learning a lot by looking at code samples from the Frontier-Talk list. It's a good way to learn, it gives you ideas of how to tackle a project in UserTalk.

In order to publish the code, I put together a quick macro to format and protect the code from getting interpreted when it gets run through the rendering process.

You can call it from a page as well, like this:

{includeSourceCode (@user.name.of.the.script.to.publish)}

Perhaps you'll find this code useful.
