Forum:Standard formatting

Hello,

i recently started the visual basic wiki. When enclosing source code in the   tags i noticed that the text size is quite small. is it possible to change the default text size and maybe even make it a different colour.

example of pre this is way too small thanks Marrickvb 22:30, 28 December 2008 (UTC) Founder and Admin of the visual basic wiki
 * the font inside the pre looks the exact same size as the text outside it for me. remember that your browser can control the font/sizes of what you see on the webpages too, you may likely have a smaller font size set for "fixed" fonts.
 * For firefox (sorry, i dont use anything else, so i dont know), Tool->Options->content tab->Fonts&colors box->Advanced
 * you will see separate fonts and sizes settings for each major "type" of font. There is one for "monospace" fonts, like what is used in the  boxes. it may be set to something very small for you.


 * Another solution is that I can turn on the code syntax highlighter for that wiki. You can read about it here, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi

 * On IE you can select wich font is used but altering their size is not as easy as with Firefox.
 * We can access thoses settings easy clicking on the gear icon and selecting the last entry (Internet Options).
 * At the bottom of the option windows, you have four buttons to access colors options, languages, font and accessibility.

 * For size wouldn't it be easy to place around the pre? Like this:

Here's the text, bigger.

 * Easier, perhaps, but  is something we were supposed to stop using a long time ago in favour of CSS.  15:40, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
