I tried searching for Textual Programming in google but nothing definite comes out.
So what’s the different between the two?

Thanks in advance. ^^

Lastly, no nonsense answers, please. Yahoo answers has enough of that.

I think Yahoo Answers is a really cool site, and I would love to have something similar on my site. My site covers a very niche area, and people there have a lot of in-depth knowledge about some very obscure things. I think this would be a great way to further community. Forums haven’t worked well for me in the past, so I would love to try something like this. Also, open-source is ideal, and PHP driven is important. Thanks.
I appreciate the mentioning of phpbb. However, I’m not looking for a forum type of software, unless phpbb can be configured to work like Yahoo Answers. if that is the case, can anyone point me to the plugin that will help with that?

When I reply to posts on Yahoo Answers and provide code samples, I notice that long strings get truncated. This isn’t a problem with links because the links generally still work, but it’s obviously problematic when it truncates code — and users asking questions probably won’t be able to fill in the blanks. So, is there a way to format code (or any text) so that it isn’t truncated?
