Bug 17560 – Enhancement: view and copy full code example for offline compile/play

Now we have code examples which can be edited and run online. But there are two circumstances that make it difficult to use examples for beginners. First, the examples on the site do not always work, and secondly, they are incomplete in terms of imports. Therefore, a neophyte can not just save an example to a disc and start playing with it. I propose an additional button that shows the complete, compilable example text.

> First, the examples on the site do not always work They _always_ work. We test this in our CI (e.g. https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/master/posix.mak#L596). > I propose an additional button that shows the complete, compilable example text. This is already in the queue: https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1669 Feel free to vote for the PR ;-)

Thanks!

Duplicate so will close.

I mean problems on live site like described here: https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected] I did reply on the thread. tl:dr: not much we can do because the execution is an external service (DPaste) Though there's a PR in the queue to switch over to the tour (more powerful, uses docker with ~1GB max. per container): https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1647 [1] https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected] > I did the search before posting issue, but miss this one. Thanks! You are very welcome. Please raise your voice on this PR if you want it to be merged ;-)
