That reminds me that if we move off generic plain-ole-vanilla code tags to syntax highlighting tags like this, there will be a burden on all mods to tag correctly based on what kind of code it is.

This seems like a lot of extra work with little value; and since we are not a blogging site specializing in C# or CSS, for example, it would be too much work to try to heard cats and get each user to use the exact right codes tags for their code.

I'm not sure how to proceed; the main reason I moved down this path was to try to fix the scroll bar issue in the <pre> tags used in our code tags. This problem exists with all of this bbcode, so I am hesitant to jump down the rabbit hole on syntax highlighting at this time.

A higher priority is for me to purchase a new dedicated computer running modern Ubuntu and PHP7 and port the site over to that new site and get off this old hardware and depreciated PHP code.

exfalso

exfalso(1)						      General Commands Manual							exfalso(1)

NAME

       exfalso - audio tag editor

SYNOPSIS

       exfalso [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION

       Ex Falso displays and edits audio metadata tags. Supported formats include MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Musepack (MPC), WavPack, and MOD/XM/IT.

       This  manual  page  is  only  a	short  reference  for  Ex  Falso.  Complete documentation is available at http://code.google.com/p/quodli-
       bet/wiki/Guide.

OPTIONS

       Ex Falso may be given a directory to open on the command line.

TIED TAGS

       Many places in Ex Falso allow you to use "tied tags". Tied tags are two tag names joined  together  with  a  "~"  like  "title~version"	or
       "album~part".   Tied  tags  result  in  "nice"  displays  even when one of the tags is missing; for example, "title~version" will result in
       Title - Version when a version tag is present, but only Title when one isn't. You can tie any number of tags together.

RENAMING FILES

       Ex Falso allows you to rename files based on their tags. In some cases you may wish to alter the filename depending on  whether	some  tags
       are present or missing, in addition to their values. A common pattern might be
	   <tracknumber>. <title~version>
       You can use a '|' to only text when a tag is present:
	   <tracknumber|<tracknumber>. ><title~version>
       You can also specify literal text to use if the tag is missing by adding another '|':
	   <album|<album>|No Album> - <title>
       See http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/wiki/Guide_Renaming.
