Thanks alot. I couldn’t find anything that worked with MDX beforehand. This seems like the most common sense solution to just keep the formatting from wherever you are copying the code from!

Hi Mos,

Sorry for this slower second reply, I’ve been a bit busy

So in your case you’re getting a horizontal scroll bar, interesting! I’m guessing that it’s indeed probably related to the theme. To find out, have a look at the “code” class in your CSS (I think, could also be in one of the higher-level classes).

Have a nice weekend!
Valentino.

Hi Valentino…. Thanks for your quick reply…

Maybe an example will explain my problem – would you say its because of the theme? see link below of an entry ive just created using paste from VS. (I Paste for SSMS 2008)

Using the Paste From Visual Studio plugin, the code gets wrapped automatically (as you can see in the samples above). In Live Writer it looks like you’re losing part of the code on the right, but when published the code will be wrapped, not lost. However, I try to avoid this by manually adding line breaks myself. Gives me more control over how it will eventually appear.

Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for this – ive been looking for something that does this properly for a while now!

one question – how do you do your word wrap in code – ie. the box the code is in…
