Advanced Features

If you are looking at a paste you can toggle the paste detail box by clicking on "paste detail". From there you have (depending on the type of paste) a couple of options:

In any case you can reply to that paste by clicking on the "reply to this paste" link. Also always possible is downloading the paste, changing the color scheme and toggeling the line numbers.

If the paste you're looking at is a reply to another paste you can compare it with the parent paste by clicking on the "compare it with parent paste" link. If this paste has pastes that replied to you will see a list of replies in the detail box.

Even if someone copied over the paste by hand to make changes you can still compare those two pastes if you enter the id of the other paste into the textfield and click compare.

If you want to see all pastes that are somehow related to the current one, click on the "show paste tree" link:

Comparing Pastes

In the diff view you can see the differences between two pastes. Deleted lines have a redish background, added lines a bright green one. You can also download the changes as unified diff.

Paste Notifications

If someone replies to one of your pastes you will get a notification the next time you visit the pastebin. This however doesn't work for pastes older than 31 days because after that time you get a new cookie for privacy reasons.

Multi-File Pastes

If you select the "Multi-File" formatter from the list you can combine multiple files into one paste. Each file has to be introduced with a formatter line of the following format:

### filename [formatter key]

Both the filename and the formatter key is optional. If no formatter key is provided the formatter is guessed from the filename. If the filename is given it will be used as headline for the section.

The list of formatters is on the bottom of this page.

Formatter Preselection

If you want to use lodgeit on your project's IRC channel you can add +FORMATTER to the URL where FORMATTER is the name of the formatter to select from the list below:
