Format My Source Code for Blogging

This is a cool link I found. simply paste your code into the app, and it will automatically generate a nice box with the code inside using the "pre" html tag.

A Javascript web application that will format source code text into HTML for inserting into your blog.


Format My Source Code for Blogging

A sample from the app:

.post-body blockquote {
margin: 1em 3em;
padding: .5em;
background-color: #f6ebc1; 
}


I changed the generated "width: 100%" to "margin: 1em 3em"

This is the original.

.post-body blockquote {
margin: 1em 3em;
padding: .5em;
background-color: #f6ebc1; 
}

Changing/styling/customizing/etc. your blockquotes in blogger

Ok, whew, so I have just been on an emaculate journey through blogger. This journey began with trying to display LaTeX in blogger. I then wanted to tweak and fix my "blockquote" in blogger since the template I am using doesn't specify a different background color or border which helps the quotes pop/stand out to the reader for better aesthetics and distinguish-ability. (I will also mess with and talk about the "code" and "pre" HTML tags in another post.) Then default "blockquote" in my template that I chose to use only indented the quote which made it very difficult to pick out of the blog post.

So one of the problems was finding out what to do. I knew I had to go into the Design tab, then the Edit HTML tab/option in the Blogger Dashboard. This allows you to edit the HTML code which controls your template settings of how your blog post/page/widgets/etc. will look. So I Googled "how to edit blockquote in blogger" where of course about a million (figuratively and literally) links returned.

Here are some links I came across which you might find helpful:

Blogger 101: Blockquote Coding - http://momswhoblog.blogspot.com/2007/05/blogger-101-blockquote-coding.html

Quotes in Blogger - Customization - http://www.blogbulk.com/2008/12/quotes-in-blogger-customization.html

How to Style Up Your Quotes in Blogger - http://maketecheasier.com/style-up-quotes-in-blogger/2010/09/03

Now this post ^ tells you to find this piece of code in the HTML template editor:


blockquote {
margin:1em 20px;
background: #dfdfdf;
padding: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
font-style: italic;
}

However, in the template that I am using there was not a piece of code like this. I couldn't even find "blockquote" in the code using the find function, CRTL + F. This next post then showed an alternative possibility of code, but alas, it was not there either.

Customize Blockquote In Your BlogSpot Blogs - http://bloggerstop.net/2009/05/customize-blockquote-in-your-blogspot.html

Weird, this link is nearly the same as this ^, information-wise.

How To Customize Blockquote In Blogger - http://www.royaltutor.net/2011/01/how-to-customize-blockquote-in-blogger.html

.post-body blockquote {
margin: 1em 3em;
padding: .5em;
background-color: #f6ebc1; 
}

So ,what I did was simply find a spot to copy and paste to see if this code would work. I saw where the blockquote needed to be in between

<b:skin> </b:skin>


I then searched for a similar phrase as

.post-body


This is in the Post section of this template code.


I then changed the color and added a border. The colors are in a 6 digit hex code. You can find out more about these colors and digits here:

Color Hex Color Codes - http://www.color-hex.com/

About color-hex.com

Color-hex.com gives information about colors including color models (RGB,HSL,HSV and CMYK), Triadic colors, monochromatic colors and analogous colors calculated in color page. Color-hex.com also generates a simple css code for the selected color.
Html element samples are also shown below the color detail page.
Simply type the 6 digit color code in the box above and hit enter.

The align environment in LaTeX

Here is a little on some equation formatting in LaTex. I've posted some information on this before which might have been a little messy. It needs cleaning up, and I have used some of these commands now so I have some experience to write about them and post examples.

The eqnarray environment is outdated and no longer used or needed. The new environment align has replaced this environment with improvements. For more see this link here:

LaTeX Wiki - Align (environment) - http://latex.wikia.com/wiki/Align_(environment)

Here are some examples that I have written:

\begin{align*}
\textbf{u}_t &= \dfrac{\partial \textbf{u}}{\partial t} \\
\textbf{u} &= \text{vector of dependent variables} \\
t &= \text{initial value independent variable} \\
\textbf{x} & = \text{boundary value independent variables} \\
\textbf{f} &= \text{spatial differential operator} = \textbf{f} \left( \textbf{x}, t, \textbf{u}, \textbf{u}_x, \textbf{u}_{xx}, \ldots \right)
\end{align*}


\begin{align*}
\textbf{u}_t &= \dfrac{\partial \textbf{u}}{\partial t} \\
\textbf{u} &= \text{vector of dependent variables} \\
t &= \text{initial value independent variable} \\
\textbf{x} & = \text{boundary value independent variables} \\
\textbf{f} &= \text{spatial differential operator} = \textbf{f} \left( \textbf{x}, t, \textbf{u}, \textbf{u}_x, \textbf{u}_{xx}, \ldots \right)
\end{align*}

(Also aligned works to produce the same code in THIS post. I stumbled upon a great LaTeX code display method so i have to update some older posts since I couldn't get them to work):

\begin{aligned}
\textbf{u}_t &= \dfrac{\partial \textbf{u}}{\partial t} \\
\textbf{u} &= \text{vector of dependent variables} \\
t &= \text{initial value independent variable} \\
\textbf{x} & = \text{boundary value independent variables} \\
\textbf{f} &= \text{spatial differential operator} = \textbf{f} \left( \textbf{x}, t, \textbf{u}, \textbf{u}_x, \textbf{u}_{xx}, \ldots \right)
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
\textbf{u}_t &= \dfrac{\partial \textbf{u}}{\partial t} \\
\textbf{u} &= \text{vector of dependent variables} \\
t &= \text{initial value independent variable} \\
\textbf{x} & = \text{boundary value independent variables} \\
\textbf{f} &= \text{spatial differential operator} = \textbf{f} \left( \textbf{x}, t, \textbf{u}, \textbf{u}_x, \textbf{u}_{xx}, \ldots \right)
\end{aligned}

Edit: Eeewww, I'm going to have to change that code display. It IS UGLY!! I need to tweak some things because my blockquote needs to change too. I want to put a box/frame or whatever around it so that it pops out at the reader and is distinguishable.

Edit 2: Ok, so I fixed up the blockquotes and code display (I think, I can't remember now it's been so long!! :P)

In order to have the equation number at the end of a long, multi-line equation use the command \nonumber right before you end the line with the double slashes

\begin{align}
\dfrac{\partial^2 T \left( x, t + \dfrac{\Delta t}{2} \right)}{\partial x^2} = &\dfrac{1}{2} \left[ \dfrac{T \left( x + \Delta x, t + \Delta t \right) - 2 T \left( x, t + \Delta t \right) + T \left( x - \Delta x, t + \Delta t \right)}{\Delta x^2} \right. \nonumber \\ &\left. + \dfrac{T \left( x + \Delta x, t \right) - 2 T \left( x, t \right) + T \left( x - \Delta x, t \right)}{\Delta x^2} \right]  + O \left( \Delta x^2 \right)
\end{align}


In order to center the equation number, surround the array environment with an equation environment

\begin{equation}
\begin{align}
\dfrac{\partial^2 T \left( x, t + \dfrac{\Delta t}{2} \right)}{\partial x^2} = &\dfrac{1}{2} \left[ \dfrac{T \left( x + \Delta x, t + \Delta t \right) - 2 T \left( x, t + \Delta t \right) + T \left( x - \Delta x, t + \Delta t \right)}{\Delta x^2} \right. \\ &\left. + \dfrac{T \left( x + \Delta x, t \right) - 2 T \left( x, t \right) + T \left( x - \Delta x, t \right)}{\Delta x^2} \right]  + O \left( \Delta x^2 \right)
\end{align}
\end{equation}

Eclipse IDE

Eclipse - The Eclipse Foundation open source community website.

About the Eclipse Foundation - http://www.eclipse.org/org/

What is Eclipse and the Eclipse Foundation?

Eclipse is an open source community, whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle. The Eclipse Foundation is a not-for-profit, member supported corporation that hosts the Eclipse projects and helps cultivate both an open source community and an ecosystem of complementary products and services.

The Eclipse Project was originally created by IBM in November 2001 and supported by a consortium of software vendors. The Eclipse Foundation was created in January 2004 as an independent not-for-profit corporation to act as the steward of the Eclipse community. The independent not-for-profit corporation was created to allow a vendor neutral and open, transparent community to be established around Eclipse. Today, the Eclipse community consists of individuals and organizations from a cross section of the software industry.



Eclipse Projects - http://www.eclipse.org/projects/

Eclipse projects now cover runtimes; static and dynamic languages; thick-client, thin-client, and server-side frameworks; modeling and business reporting; embedded and mobile; and, yes, we still have the best Java IDE.

This page is designed to be a gateway into the projects for users, adopters, team members, and the merely curious.

FAQ What is Eclipse? - http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_What_is_Eclipse%3F

Eclipse means a lot of different things to different people. To some Eclipse is a free, state-of-the-art Java development environment. To others, Eclipse is a flexible environment to experiment with new computer languages or extensions to existing languages. To yet others, Eclipse is a comprehensive framework that deploys many advanced and modern software design and implementation techniques.

Eclipse is open because its design allows for easy extension by third parties. It is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) because it provides tooling to manage workspaces; to build, launch and debug applications; to share artifacts with a team and to version code; and to easily customize the programming experience. Eclipse is a platform because it is not a finished application per se but is designed to be extended indefinitely with more and more sophisticated tooling. The platform has no explicit or implicit support whatsoever for Java development as provided by the Java development tools (JDT). The JDT has to play according to the same rules as all the other plug-ins that use the platform.

Speaking more technically, Eclipse is built on a mechanism for discovering, integrating, and running modules called plug-ins. A contributor to Eclipse delivers as one or more plug-ins an offering that manifests itself with a product-specific user interface (UI) in the workbench. Multiple, usually unrelated, products can be installed in one Eclipse instance and happily live and cooperate to perform a certain task. The class of end products includes IDEs, but also so-called rich clients, applications that benefit from the Eclipse Platform design and its components but do not look like an IDE. Examples of the latter category include the latest generation of applications based on IBM Workplace Client Technology, the first of which will be Lotus Workplace Messaging 2.0 and Lotus Workplace Documents 2.0.

TeXlipse - http://texlipse.sourceforge.net/

TeXlipse is a plugin that adds Latex support to the Eclipse IDE.



TeXlipse - Introduction http://texlipse.sourceforge.net/manual/intro.html

The TeXlipse plugin for Eclipse provides support for LaTeX projects. It is primarily aimed at users who already know the basics about LaTeX, newbies will surely find it useful but also a steeper learning curve. The following main features are offered:

Syntax highlighting
Document outline
Code folding
Templates
Build support, also partial building
Annotations for errors (while editing)
Content assist (completion of commands and references)
Easy navigation with F3
Outline of the current file and the full project
Spell checking
Menu with common LaTeX math symbols
BibTeX editor and BibTeX-support
Line wrapping
Table editor
Support for several platforms (Windows, Linux, OS X)
...and many more
In other words, TeXlipse includes quite a complete set of features for day-to-day editing tasks. This manual explains the use of these features in detail, but plese go ahead and explore TeXlipse!

TeXlipse version 1.0 was brought to you by the Texlapse-team as a software project on the SoberIT lab of the Helsinki University of Technology. The Texlapse-team includes (in alphabetical order): Taavi Hupponen, Kimmo Karlsson, Jani Laitinen, Oskar Ojala, Antti Pirinen, Esa Seuranen and Laura Takkinen.

TeXlipse version 1.4.0 was developed from 1.0 as an open source project on SourceForge. The team that developed it consisted of Oskar Ojala, Kimmo Karlsson, Boris von Loesch and Tor Arne Vestbø. Additionally, several contributions were received from users of TeXlipse.

TeXlipse uses Jazzy since version 1.4.0 for spell checking.

Eclipse also has the capability to develop C/C++ codes and programs through the Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling).  http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/

The CDT Project provides a fully functional C and C++ Integrated Development Environment based on the Eclipse platform. Features include: support for project creation and managed build for various toolchains, standard make build, source navigation, various source knowledge tools, such as type hierarchy, call graph, include browser, macro definition browser, code editor with syntax highlighting, folding and hyperlink navigation, source code refactoring and code generation, visual debugging tools, including memory, registers, and disassembly viewers.

As well as C/C++ support, Eclipse seems to also have a Fortran capability as well through the use of Photran - An Integrated Development Environment and Refactoring Tool for Fortran.  http://www.eclipse.org/photran/

Photran 7.0 supports Fortran 77-2008. It includes 31 refactorings (including Rename, Extract Procedure, and loop transformations), as well as the following IDE features: 
- Syntax-highlighting editor 
- Outline view Content assist* 
- Open declaration* 
- Declaration view and hover tips* 
- Fortran language-based searching* 
- Support for CVS & other VCS's** 
- Interactive debugger (gdb GUI) 
- Makefile-based compilation 
- Optional Makefile generation 
- Recognition of error messages from most popular Fortran compilers 
* A project must explicitly have analysis support enabled for these features to work. See the Photran documentation for more information. 
** CVS is supported in most Eclipse installations. Subversion, Git, and other version control systems are supported via third-party Eclipse plug-ins. 
Photran is a component of the Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform (PTP).

Installing Kile on Mac OS (Windows too)

Here are a few links which might help with installing Kile on Macs. Heck, I didn't know Kile was "cross-platform" in this manner. You can even, supposedly, install Kile on Windows. Another way to possible run Kile on Mac or Windows OSs is to use a virtual machine.
