How do you make those boxes around command line entries?

[Bartender]

I see replies where the exact command line that the poster wants someone to try is neatly enveloped by a box, making it very clear what is intended.
How do you guys do that??

you mean code?

You use the bb-code [*code]$text[/code] for this

Actually, if you click on the GO ADVANCED button when posting, there are options for including files, images, quotes, code (that's what you're asking about), php, html, etc.

As chaosgeisterchen said, just enclose the text in the appropriate tags:

To create this box around stuff, type your text and replace tag with code, quote, html, etc.

To create this box around stuff, type your text and replace tag with code, quote, html, etc.

Hope this helps.
