Additional BBCode tags

Post by benryves »

We've added some custom BBCode tags that can be useful when discussing technical matters. To avoid cluttering the posting form they are not displayed there!
  • Strikethrough[/s ]
  • Bar[/bar ]
  • Teletype[/tt ]
    [*]Superscript[/sup ]
    [*]Subscript[/sub ]
    [*][left ]Align left[/ left]
    [*][center ]Align center[/ center]
    [*][right ]Align right[/ right]
    [*]Glow[/glow ] (requires CSS text-shadow support)
    [*][topic=id ]Topic link[/topic ]
    [*][post=id ]Post link[/post ]
If you have any requests for other tags for formatting your posts more easily we'll see what we can do. Unfortunately some tags (such as for tables) would allow users to break the forum layout if they weren't careful with their markup.

What sort of font options would you be looking for, and how would you use them? I'd rather avoid magenta Comic Sans MS if possible. :P (I've added alignment and glow, though glow isn't very well supported by browsers).

Well, sometimes I feel like using Courier New without having to use the code tags... However teletype does look like it would do the job...

Nah, then I see no reason to include font tags. Unless anyone else has a request I think those will do.

Thanks again :)

I've added [topic] and [post] tags. This should hopefully keep links correct if the forum URL changes again, so please use them if you wish to link to other posts!

For those that would like it, I've added simple LaTeX support using mimeTeX. Enclose equations in [latex] tags to use it:

[latex]f(x)=\int_{-\infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt[/latex]

becomes:

f(x)=\int_{-\infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt
