dpaste.com Help

Usage

Use dpaste.com to share pieces of code in chat rooms, forums, and the like, without pastebombing the conversation. Your submission will be given a nice short URL like dpaste.com/ABCD23456.

You can set expiration from 1 day to 365 days (7 days is the default). After that it's deleted from our database and its URL will return a 404.

After you paste into the Content field, dpaste will automatically set the Syntax menu if it can.

There's a simple API for creating new pastes.

All paste URLs are "private". The IDs are non-sequential, and the links are not published anywhere on the site.

Tips

  • Click the "Soft wrap" button to wrap long lines to window width, no horizontal scrolling. The resulting URL (ends with #wrap) can be shared too.
  • Add .txt to any paste URL to see it as raw text.
  • Click any line number for a permalink.
  • To preset fields on page load, pass any of these URL parameters: syntax, expiry_days, title. (See API page for syntax choices.)
  • Compare any two items via the Diff button.
  • Size limit is 250,000 bytes.
  • Follow @dpaste@fosstodon.org (aka status.dpaste.com) for status updates.
