CODE tag yields black text

[mmadsen]

I've noticed that the CODE tag yields black text. For example:

This text should simply be monospaced, 
in case it's programming code or ASCII 
art.  Instead, it's black and monospaced.

Here's the same CODE snippet wrapped in COLOR tags:

This text should simply be monospaced, 
in case it's programming code or ASCII 
art.  Instead, it's black and monospaced.

By the way, it's wrapped in red COLOR tags, but no color seems to do anything except guarantee that the CODE ends up white instead of black. And one size smaller. Odd...

Can we fix the settings for the CODE tag?

So is no one else getting this problem? Or is no one else using CODE tags for monospaced ASCII diagrams, etc.?

I've been getting this problem trying to post snippets of code for NWN in the code forum.

The one time I used the code tag along with a color tag, it worked out nicely - admittedly, I have used the color White...

Let's see:

[color=Red]
This is a test code text.
It should be in red.
[/color]

This is a test code text.
It should be in red.

Aha - here's the secret!

Instead of using the color tag first, you have to use the code tag first!

First, why is text within CODE tags black by default? Shouldn't it be white, like any other text? Second, why does it change size?

Odd.
