Or add a XML file. Showing the code in the question is ok as it limits the problem to a few files/classes and allows readers to imagine the "magnitude" of the problem while a zip file is more opaque. But showing the code inside big divs is not smart, it is hard to see the whole question or copy the code. | |

encourage? I don't think reducing the max-height of code blocks will encourage posting significant amounts of code. It is just a CSS modification so that questions/answers that have a lot of code don't take all the screen. In my opinion SSCCE's are not expected to be read (you can read them in Eclipse for example) so they should be a little bit hidden. But if you still want to read them in the page, a "expand" button won't hurt.
