How to use columns in posts?

[TJ]

Sorry if I'm missing it in the BBCode shortcut list somehow--but what's the code to use columned text in posts? I feel like it'd help make my lists a lot easier to read.

Thanks!

Also, what's the code for putting text into a collapsible clicky thingy? I know it's collapse on another site but that doesn't seem to work here.

Heyo, TJ! Here is the general tutorial section of the forum: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?board=453.0

I'm not quite certain but do you mean columns as in tables? Like displayed here: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207014.0

And the collapsable thingy? Do you mean hiding the text behind a button? That is "spoiler" here.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

stuff inside a spoiler

Code Select Expand

[spoiler]stuff inside a spoiler[/spoiler]

I hope this helps!

Oh, that is what I meant! No wonder I couldn't find them, haha. They're called something different on another RP site. Thanks so much for clarifying!

Heh, every site has their own lingo, it seems.  No problem! Always happy to help.

Yes! I'm lucky that Elliquiy uses BBCode too, it's been pretty easy for me to figure out most coding so far.

By the way, am I able to change the text on the spoiler thing itself? By that I mean the part that you click on. So...

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Not this part

, the part that says, "Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide"?

[Hrairoo]

Yes! You can change the title of a spoiler by putting = " " after the spoiler.

"cool title"

stuff in spoiler

Code Select Expand

[spoiler="cool title"]stuff in spoiler[/spoiler]

Aw yeah! Awesome! I'm making a request thread to put my characters in so this is gonna help a lot. Thanks again! ♥

There's also a tag not a lot of people know about, it seems: Acronym.

It's used to show alternate text when you hover over text in a document; for example, providing translations for snippets in other languages.  The format is:

Code Select Expand

[acronym=<hover text here>]<Display text>[/acronym]

And it does this:


Display text


Don't know if you'll find it useful, but it's there!

[TJ]

Ooh, that is potentially useful. I could use that if I wanted to list individual fetishes and stuff and maybe explain my feels on them without having a whole bunch of text all over the screen. I get worried about having lots of big, long lines of text stretched out (unless it's a post) 'cause lists like that can feel kinda hard to read. Thanks, Nowherewoman!
