Scrollable "text box" for pasting very long content
 
How do I create a text "box" in a post, so long things like flight rules can just scroll in it?

I read where somebody was reprimanded for not using one, but I can't seem to find how to make them.

I really try to be a good citizen here, but this one has stumped me.

FT is so big and has so many boards that it's easy to miss the technical support board at the bottom of the forum home page: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...-feedback-386/. It's a good resource for the "how to" questions about FT.

If you use quote, it does not truncate the box. The OP asked regarding extraordinarily long texts, and the code feature will truncate the box and allow the reader to scroll within the box, as seen in CDKing's post.

Ah, missed the scrolling requirement!

As noted, this subject is best suited to the Technical Support forum, so I've moved it here to help others who might search out the same info in the future.

Thanks all!
