Thanks. Unfortunately, the problem is that a C program (again, unless you don't mind making it invalid) can't start with a (; it must start with a keyword after preprocessing, and before preprocessing, the only ways around that are by starting with #, %:, //, /*, or _Pragma, possibly combined with \. (Technically, trigraphs could also be used, but ?? causes even bigger problems.) Comments in Lisp start with ; or are embedded in #|...|#, so the opening must be a valid Lisp expression. The two things that don't break C that I could find are //, and #\ followed by a newline. Both seem to unconditionally break PostScript, but if you have a way around that, I'd be very interested.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
