Additional Code Tags?

[BackworldTraveller]

Two Three some suggestions
a) Something that will draw a horizontal line and allow a page to be split
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b) Something that will allow a table to be drawn

c) A box that isn't a quote box. i.e. for equipment stats or similar stuff. e.g....

Thinimygibbet
Magic Rope.
+4 Vs Horrible Creature.
Weight: 4lb
Length: 30'
Self-Knotting

d) Dialog is for said stuff, Normal Text for done stuff, ooc for commentary on/about the character. Something for Internal Thoughts or Non-Verbal communications by the character...Yes Colour can be used but that isn't standardised.

[hr][/hr] <--Okay, that doesn't work!
And I don't know of a way to fake this without just putting in a lot of
______________________________________________________________________

Indentions, though, do work
They are very easy to do as well. The bbcode for them isn't a button, you have
to enter the code directly. The code is indent and /indent.
You can embed indents within each other, too!

Just add extra indents!
This will give you multi-level indentions.
See nice and easy!

Just make sure to match all indents with /indents
and then go to town!

b) Something that will allow a table to be drawn

...Tables you CAN do!

Column 1	Column2	Column2
Stuff	More stuff	Yet more stuff
This is row three	That is all!
	Doing it this way isn't the easiest, but it does work

I guess buttons to insert the table rows, headers, and cells tags could be done, but that isn't really required. I added the extra white space to make things more clear to read, but that isn't necessary. The extra white space won't persist through replies.

Now, is there a way to set a text background color?

That one I haven't figured out yet.

Thanks - I can see the indent button
I think the tags to use are
table
tr
th Header-Text /th th Header Text /th
/tr tr
td Cell-Text /td td Cell-Text /td
/tr
/table

Header-Text	Header Text
Cell-Text	Cell-Text

Is there a glossary of tags somewhere?

Yes, you've got it!

You can google for bbcodes, but I've never found a good list of codes that all work here.

I'm sorry, I am just seeing this thread.
The 'hr' is a good idea and I just implemented it. Here's a sample


This is a horizontal rule

The is after it.

d) Dialog is for said stuff, Normal Text for done stuff, ooc for commentary on/about the character. Something for Internal Thoughts or Non-Verbal communications by the character...Yes Colour can be used but that isn't standardised.

This is a good idea. Do you have a suggestion on the color we could use for internal thoughts or non-verbal comms? I can set up anything.

[BackworldTraveller]

I've been using Green - dark enough to see and different enough to distinguish.

And the hr works a treat - Thanks

Is there an escape character or such so that we could display bbcodes in a documentary post?

Not an escape character, but it occurs to me that we could substitute { } for [ ] when showing BBCode tags.

ToniXX thanks for the horizontal rule! You rule!

Bringing this back...

I have a couple of tag requests. They don't need buttons, just being available would be great! I found this on https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=405994. I don't know if this would be easy or hard to implement, but it's a suggestion.

Setting background color for selected text:

BB Usage:

Code: Select all

[bgcolor={COLOR}]{TEXT}[/bgcolor]

HTML Replace:

Code: Select all

<span style="background:{COLOR}">{TEXT}</span>

Example Use: [bgcolor=#008000]This text would have a green background.[/color]

Colors are already available as standard names and #numbers here for the color tag.

Change the font of selected text:

BB Usage:

Code: Select all

[font={TEXT1}]{TEXT2}[/font]

HTML 4 Replace:

Code: Select all

<font face="serif">{TEXT2}</font>

HTML 5 Replace:

Code: Select all

<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">This is a paragraph.</span>

Example Use: [font="Times New Roman"]This would display in a serif font[/font]


The following is a list of Web Safe Fonts that might be put where TEXT1 goes:
Arial (sans-serif)
Verdana (sans-serif)
Tahoma (sans-serif)
Trebuchet MS (sans-serif)
Times New Roman (serif)
Georgia (serif)
Garamond (serif)
Courier New (monospace)
Brush Script MT (cursive)

Again, this might be easy or it might be hard, I have no idea. I think I'd make a lot of use of both these tags though, if they were available. Please consider implementing them.
