Author Topic: BBCode additions, and a subtraction (Read 5102 times)

Vekseid · « **on:** October 21, 2013, 09:35:50 am »

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]

[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 : )

Very cool!!! Love it! <3

Previewing before posting is a big help with the spacing.

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!

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

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

Kythia · « **Reply #6 on:** October 21, 2013, 12:38:48 pm »

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

Nadir · « **Reply #7 on:** October 21, 2013, 12:46:27 pm »

... snazzy!

AmberStarfire · « **Reply #8 on:** October 21, 2013, 12:47:39 pm »

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

The new flippy text is nifty. :)

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 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 21, 2013, 01:06:00 pm »

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

Dhi · « **Reply #11 on:** October 21, 2013, 01:09:50 pm »

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

Amelita · « **Reply #12 on:** October 21, 2013, 01:29:06 pm »

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

Aiden · « **Reply #13 on:** October 21, 2013, 01:30:05 pm »

Can't wait to use this!

Niferbelle · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2013, 01:57:45 pm »

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.

Heh, functions oddly inside a table:

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.

Amelita · « **Reply #18 on:** October 21, 2013, 03:08:25 pm »

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

Now the vertical alignment... -meddles with-

interesting.

Code: [Select]

I wonder why it does that... o.O

Caeli · « **Reply #19 on:** October 21, 2013, 03:14:11 pm »

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 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 21, 2013, 03:22:14 pm »

-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 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 21, 2013, 03:25:26 pm »

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
