Images

[img type=slide number=(number of pictures here)][/url] create slideshow without using GIF; each would be separated by a semicolon and a space.
[img type=video number=1][/url] Embed videos

Others
[html][/html]: enable HTML
[php][/php]: enable PHP
[pre][/pre] Pre-formatted text
[br]: line break
[hr]: horizontal line

You based that off of HTML a little too much. XD

I like the anchors and lists.

I think s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶ should be [s].

I like [font=] and [size=] better than attributes in a [font] tag.  tongue

We could just do [u=2].

The marquee is cool.

I disagree with the type stuff in [img]. You did forget alt. XD

I disagree with everything in the other section except for the [hr].
Here's why:
It could get dangerous to let users put in their own HTML, and even more so with PHP.
The [br] thing is pointless, because newlines show up.  tongue


That's my feedback.  smile

Re: BBCode Improvements

Okay.  I'll update the post and take out HTML and PHP ones, because you are right about those

Also, [pre] is [code].

You accidentally put [/font] instead of [/size].

Re: BBCode Improvements

Man, what would I be without you, sci XD
First you help me out a ton on the wiki, then this.[/offtopic]
Hmm, maybe there could be a BBCode tag, [offtopic][/offtopic], that might be able to not show up if a user enables a certain option.
Maybe "Show off-topic posts"

That could kind of take off-topic to a real extreme, if people knew that they could just tag it, and it would be hidden for certain people.  hmm

Re: BBCode Improvements

Or maybe it creates a misc. topic, and then links to it.
Do you like the rest of the suggestions now?

Re: BBCode Improvements

I don't think font and size are acceptable. Spammers can type in gibberish font and huge size.

Re: BBCode Improvements

Then there could be a limit, and like HTML (yes, sci, I did base it off that), the font could only work if installed on your computer.  Otherwise, it would switch to Times New Roman, and, if that isn't, then the default serif.

Or the tag just doesn't work

Re: BBCode Improvements

I forgot about tables.  What do you think of these?

Tables
[tr][/tr]: table row
[td][/td]: table cell

Code:

[tr][td]1[/td][td]2[/td][/tr]

Maybe.  smile

About the lists, I think that the [li] is a bit unnecessary, to keep it as simple as possible. A new item would start on a new line.

And I still disagree with the offtopic.


Fonts wouldn't have support for linking to external font files, like you can do in CSS. XD
And there could be a limit on the font size, at least for New Scratchers.

Re: BBCode Improvements

Yeah, I've decided to not do the offtopic.
I like the [li] because what if you had a multiple-line item?
Also, maybe you could also do [li=2][/li], meaning that it is indented, meaning it is a sub-rank

Yeah, that would make a little sense...
