o.k., that made me chuckle

OK, ]python[ tag is well looking with this Python logo but its purpose maybe it's not so obvious. What if there is 'code' text next to the logo? It will be only one with text and this is something that is noticed.

Have you notice that there is pop up text when mouse over button?
I think maybe many miss this to.
insert Python tag insert error tag ect.

even on the old forum when it was "code" tags, people didnt use them either

I often see (just fixed one) honest attempts being made, but using icode tags vs python tags.
There's probably not much you can do about this, other than making corrections and commenting.

inline instead?
RE: Please use code tags - Larz60+ - Apr-06-2017
sounds OK, but how does that affect legacy threads?
RE: Please use code tags - metulburr - Apr-06-2017
we would have to maintain icode and inline, but only inline for the button and people using from there on out. The same is being done for
code tags now. As people had used code tags before we had python tags.
RE: Please use code tags - metulburr - Apr-06-2017
changed icode -> inline. The button is changed, the tag is now
inlinehowever
icode still works for legacy threads to maintain constancy. Maybe that will be less confusing for people now.Another thing that might help in confusion....As cool as it is for the python logo to be the python code tags, maybe the universal forum code icon should be used? Which is usually an image showing this
</>. We could go even further than that and use the universal tag of code, instead of python...which is already set for legacy threads to python code tags. Im not sure though if that would help though. We initially had python tags only to differentiate from code tags, which now both do the same thing.
