BBCode additions, and a subtraction

[Vekseid]

The [you] tag no longer functions outside of the ons and offs boards. It will function in those forums, but only in those forums. I know this may annoy a few of you, but the tag has made itself less than popular. : /

In other news, I have written a few more bbcode tags.

Flipped text

,

reversed text

, and

rotated text

Code Select Expand


[flip]Flipped text[/flip], [reverse]reversed text[/reverse], and


[rotate]rotated text[/rotate]


Rotate also takes an angle as a parameter. rotate=15




The ants go marching aleph-null by aleph-null, hurrah, hurrah...








Negative numbers are people too!




Something you'll notice when using rotate is that most renderers are not quite sure what to make of it, so you'll need to provide space accordingly. Keep in mind. : )

This effect won't work in all browsers, particularly IE 6-8, and some stuff here might not work in IE 9 either.

Enjoy : )

[Josietta]

Very cool!!!  Love it! <3

[Beguile's Mistress]

Previewing before posting is a big help with the spacing.

[Renegade Vile]

Nice additions, I'm going to see if I can use them somewhere soon.

Learning this made me chuckle, I suppose there is no accounting for everyone's taste!

[Blythe]

I'm very happy about the changes with the you-tag! ^^

And oooh, I really like the "rotate" thing; that looks awesome!

[Kythia]

I'm kinda curious what a rotate over 90 looks like

[Nadir]

... snazzy!

[AmberStarfire]

I think that's a good choice for the You tag.

The new flippy text is nifty. :)

[Dhi]

This seems like a snazzy thing for group game tagging:

Name: Onneca de Goni
Faction: Unknown
Date:  May 3, 1876
Time of Day: Morning
Location: The London Royal Apothecary











Sort of lends it a passport stamp look.

[Vekseid]

Trick works on more than just text, by the way >_>

[Dhi]

Haha, oh my. We have been given the keys to the universe!

[Amelita]

Ohhhh I love this, Veks! It looks awesome for pics!

[Aiden]

Can't wait to use this!

[Niferbelle]

Yeah, it's not working in IE9 :(

Probably because the rotation happens at the center of the word, so it wouldn't push the "top" of the word post-rotation into the cell that the text was originally in.

[Beguile's Mistress]

Heh, functions oddly inside a table:

Camilla
Christopher

Maybe if you add some spaces before the names that will bring them into horizontal alignment with the top of the image.  I have no idea how to fix the vertical alignment but I'm experimenting. ;D

[Amelita]

Caeli, thanks!
BeMi, that was actually what I was trying, and you're right!

Now the vertical alignment... -meddles with-

[Caeli]

The rotating is kind of cool, but honestly, it might be easier to just make a transparent GIF with rotated text and embed that into your table. >_>; Especially if uniformity and alignment is important to you.

[Amelita]

-giggles-

That's what I do ;)
I just like testing new things.

Shiny things.


Well it's an awesome code regardless of table-workability!

[Vekseid]

Yeah I expect flip and reverse to see more 'serious' use. It's hard to know how rotations will otherwise go.

Hmmmm, you might have to have the words on the same line, to keep them aligned with each other?

I believe it does that because before rotating, room is still made for the text in its horizontal position. If I were to shorten Christopher's name:

oooooooh...!

Thank you BeMi and Renegade Vile (nice to meet you Renegate, btw!), you definitely saved me a headache from trying to figure it out  XD

You are most welcome, and the pleasure is all mine.

Okay, I think this is kinda cool but I'm not really sure how it can be used... unless one is describing something seen in a mirror?

Okay, next question is, can we combine them?

OOOH! I just thought of a great use....

Identical twins!

That is cute... and kind of creepy, especially the smilies that are rotated at 90 and 270 degrees. They're blurry...

Hrm.  Too bad the edges look aliased.   :-\    Still, that's pretty cool.

Love these new tags, I think I'll use them for the Night Vale game I have going with a few friends on here.

I did have a question, since we're on the topic. I know there's a code to change image size within BBCode (for those of us without access to image editing software), but I'm loathe to remember what that code might be. If I need to ask this elsewhere, please let me know.

You can also use both height and width at the same time, though it's not necessary, as using one or the other will "resize" the image within the proportions.

You can also use padding to add "white space" around the outside edges; you can see this more clearly if you "highlight" the image with your mouse.

So if we had the [you] text in our signature, it won't work anymore?

[WyldRanger]

This looks like it has possibilities! :D

It will appear as [you], just as it does in posts now.

Well damn... That was one of my favorite tags. lol And it was a good way to get people to look at a thread if I put it in a link in my signature. :P Haha.

[Ember Star]

The lack of you makes me very sad. Will have to get on my other browser to see this new code work

[Brazen Endeavors]

Time to make a new signature.  Sigh.

[MrCoffee]

Thank you for making the [you] tag go away.   Every time I saw it, I felt slightly creeped out.  :-)

True but you can get some interesting effects by using both!
