BBCode Request [uesp]

[Kestral ●]

I feel that there is somewhat of a need for a BBcode for the UESP.

IE, something like this:

Code:

[uesp="Oblivion"]Items[/uesp]

So it would be easier to link to articles. (And perhaps a way of replacing spaces with underscores (_) with JavaScript which isn't very hard.)

The BBcode syntax would be:

Code:

[uesp="{TEXT}"]{TEXT2}[/uesp]

The HTML replacement would be:

Code:

<a href="www.uesp.net/wiki/{TEXT}:{TEXT2}">{TEXT2}</a>

The JavaScript aforementioned could be easily made with the eval() to write the <a> in a <span> using document.getElementById. The first {TEXT2} would define a variable beforehand, then the script will replace all spaces with underscores (_).

Good idea . I've already added "area", "offtopic" and "spoiler", but this would make a good one too.

[5tealthh ●]

That would be pretty dang awesome.

Good suggestion! I'd use it all the time!

Also, what about the [center][/center] tags?

I think they would be helpful.

just so long as people don't center their whole post - makes it harder to read

[nyk45 ●]

Nah, it's useful for signatures only.

[offtopic]Wtf, offtopic? You really like spam, don't ya'?[/offtopic]

[Josjie ●]

Center tags have been added.

[nyk45 ●]

[offtopic]Wtf, offtopic? You really like spam, don't ya'?[/offtopic]

[offtopic]Question. When a post is all in the off topic bb code, does it add to your post count?[/offtopic]

[Dogmantra ●]

[offtopic]This post is to check.

Edit: The answer is yes.[/offtopic]

[Yoshi ●]

[offtopic]This is why I think we need a Random Spam section :3[/offtopic]

If I didn't feel lazy I could make that script for the BBcode, and forget center tags, get an align one. :p

BBcode

Code:

[align="{TEXT}"]{TEXT2}[/align]

HTML

Code:

<span style="text-align:{TEXT}"></span>

On the other hand scratch that, make a whole style BBcode.

BBcode

Code:

[style="{TEXT}"]{TEXT2}[/align]

HTML

Code:

<div style="{TEXT}">{TEXT2}</div>

[Dogmantra ●]

And while we're requesting tags, a [s][/s] (strikeout) tag would be nice, but not completely necessary.

[Kestral ●]

BBcode

Code:

[s]{TEXT}[/s]

HTML

Code:

<s>{TEXT}</s>

Both Josie and myself are quite familiar with HTML and CSS, Kestral. You don't have to post the "solution" each time.

[Josjie ●]

I'm quite busy right now, but tomorrow I'll add some new BBcodes .

[Cactus ●]

Unlike Josie, I wasn't busy, and thus..

Mages Guild

Center

Left

Right

Code:

[align=center]Center[/align]
[align=left]Left[/align]
[align=right]Right[/align]

Strikeout

Code:

[s]Strikeout[/s]

[5tealthh ●]

Strikeouts?

How about letting us have the

Code:

[img]this_is_an_image.jpg[/img]

What about those tags? They have feelings too.

[Cactus ●]

Um.. we've always had img tags..

[Dogmantra ●]

Um.. we've always had img tags..

I think the question was more a "Can we please use them?"

5tealthh: We're not allowed to use img tags, because at least one person accesses these forums with Dial-Up, and it would be effectively excluding them from certain topics to use them.

On the other hand, it would be the same as one more signature per thread page.

And you can always change your browser options not to show pictures.

[Dogmantra ●]

On the other hand, it would be the same as one more signature per thread page.

Not necessarily. If you frequently see a signature or avatar, it will be saved in the cache and load from there, as opposed to re-downloading each time. Unless someone changes their signature/avatar really often (and with the signature, only then if they use a picture), it shouldn't affect download speed much at all.

[nyk45 ●]

Good enough.

But there are still browser options. But oh well, it's easier for us to click a link, than for someone with dial up to have a strictly-text browser. Yep, we should stick with the links.

[offtopic]Just noticed your platform [/offtopic]

It sucks that we can't post images. We should at least have a file size or pixel by pixel size restriction on the image. Like it can't be more than 500x500 pixels and can't be more than 500kb or something like that.

[Dogmantra ●]

I have another small request to make. If it's too much work, don't worry, but the Spoiler code tends to make the text that you spoiler mesh with the rest of the post. If someone could make a box appear around the text that's spoilered when it's open, that would be much appreciated. Sometimes I'll be reading one and click to close it, only to find the next sentence was spoilered too.

Of course, if it's too much work, don't bother.
