Tips

Syntax highlighting

Wrap your C++ Qt/KDE code snippets in <code cpp>, <code cpp n>, <code cpp-qt> and </code> to get syntax highlighting (cpp for C++, cpp-qt for Qt) and numbered lines (n). Replace cpp with the language used, e.g. ruby for Ruby and python for Python (soon). Use ini for .desktop files, xml for XML files. Use plain <code> for wikitext (for now).
