Maybe Wrike team takes the same time to load a task description to make a feature.
Ok, just creating the same post because the original one the comments was closed.
Could you please enable users to format text in both descriptions and comments as code? Similar to applying the <pre> and <code> HTML tags, any text a user formatted as code would be displayed in a monospace font with long blocks contained within a scrollable element.
Suggested mechanisms for implementation include:
- Dropdown selections in the GUI for code formatting.
- Single tick marks for inline code formatting, e.g., `code`
- Triple tick marks to demark the start/end of a code block, e.g., ```multi-line code block```
Bonus points for:
- Code syntax highlighting.
- Full support of the Markdown syntax.
Hey Basudha Sakshyarika, can you see about getting a developer to chime in? I'm guessing Wrike has a policy of not letting devs talk to customers, which is understandable -- I've known a lot of good developers with very terrible people skills, haha.
Also, there's been am unfortunate amount vitriol in this thread, which isn't the best motivator, and I can understand not wanting to get yelled at by internet strangers.
That said, we're all developers in this thread, and I think people could be calmed down if a developer was able to give a brief technical description on what the issue is. I've worked on a lot of legacy software, and I know how messy large codebases can get. If the technical answer to this feature request is "the task editor is glued together with m4 templates and 40 perl scripts and if we so much as breath on the code it's going to break"... well, I for one would totally understand. It'd just be nice to have a general idea of what the blocker is, you know?
Time to once again knock at the door and see if any Wrike devs are reading this.
Can you please turn on the existing monopace or preformat font in your rich text editor?
This is a stupidly simple change Vladimir and you and your company are displaying astonishing inflexibilty on this request.
TURN IT ON!
