Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Including code example in documents

I used NoteTab [free] and NotePad ++ as my first Windows programming and 
HTML editor.

Having the extension to do the highlighting in Writer is a good idea though.

If I remember correctly, for the Note. . .  editors you can find "add 
ons" that are specific to the programming code.  I have not tried them 
in a few years, but they were a real big aid to my early programming 
within the Windows environment.  I do not remember when I installed the 
first one, but it was in the early days of my having dial-up Internet 
access, or a little later.  I do not remember if I got online with Win 
95 or 98 era. but I know I used them when I was using he "new" Windows 
version - XP.

Would you tell us how large of a document these code samples will be in?

Are you writing a programming guide type of documentation?

Hopefully the RTF formatting option works.  Sometimes pictures of text 
do not work well, since the snapshot resolution and the print resolution 
could be very different.  I tend to have to make 600 DPI scanned images 
to get a decent "near 1 to 1 size" image when I print out a "best" print 
option.

If you need to do the snapshot, I would run the image through a scaling 
option, with a edge smoothing "effect", to make the image in a large 
enough DPI and actual print size for your needs that actually look well.
