Quick Note on Formatting
Because StackExchange uses Markdown and Prettify.js it is possible to add a language flag to your coding answers, which generally makes them look more professional. While I cannot guarantee that this will make you any better at golfing in VBA, I can guarantee that it will make you look like you are.
Adding either of the flags below will transform
Public Sub a(ByRef b As Integer) ''# this is a comment
to
Public Sub a(ByRef b As Integer) ''# this is a comment
Note: there seems to be a bit of an error with the way that Prettify.js handles VBA, in that it assumes the literal #
(the character used to indicate conditional compilation) to be the comment character, rather than '
, which is handled like a char literal character. Because of this, I recommend starting comments with ''#
when using prettify.js as it looks correct both to the compiler and to prettify.js
VBA Language Tags
<!-- language: lang-vba -->
<!-- language-all: lang-vba -->
Note: the latter transforms all code segments in your answer, while the prior transforms only the immediately following code segments
Note, The Second: If you happen to be looking for VB or VBScript tips hear, you can use lang-vb
or lang-vbs
, respectively for highlighting
