Tools for bbcode?

I honestly can't see how opening and closing tags can be a chinese puzzle to you guys.

I'm not sure it is as puzzling as it is an annoyance.
While such a tool is not necessary it certainly will make things easier.
You could say the same for the model viewer. It also makes things easier, but is not a necessity.

Yeah besides the fact that in the BBCode case you already have a fully working built in previewer and in the model case you actually had to download the resource and preview it in a third-party tool

Neither exactly the bane of one's life but it had more weight to it than a specialized post formatting previewer for people who are thrown off by square brackets

but i need it...
for me, doing bbcode stuff is like so messy
i always type at the wrong place and stuff..
and when im editing page...
i need to open this page
BBcode list all the time or else i can't do anything...
a GUI program for bbcode would be very nice as my stuff will not be that messy...
 
lol table, tabs, stuff, and alot more....

i mean messege inbox bbcoding area is nice but still, when come to table, its still very hard....

I was frustrated by this as well. Now I use a standard document when I write the code and c'n'p it into the message window when I want it rendered.
It's a fine work around actually.
 
I'm pretty well knowledge about BB code/php over the last 15 years,
If anyone needs help with editing or fixing codes I can help

it's okay... i can do it myself.. it's just very annoying when you making a table but it looks like a row of words.. and if you want to edit a specific column it is such a pain... so a GUI tool is good...

editing thread when it's not gui especially table take time when you edit them...
you need to read through everything (at least for me) to do it...

when I accidentally click out or something halfway... im gonna cry
GUI Tool for that can really help to reduce the time on editing thread... and easier+less tired...

So what i actually need is a GUI tool that make the code more simpler and reduce the time wasted on editing thread...

one more thing that matter me (maybe only me) is the text box is quite small and i need to scroll up and down make me easy to go to the wrong line when editing.. in table, it will end up couple of line and if i do it wrong, i had to check the whole thing again...

kids, always indent your stuff. I have quoted your post and it is total hell, but if you have made spaces or tabs similarily to how it is done in coding, you wouldn't have such a problem.

Take a look at this(taken from http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/submissions-414/snippet-chatmodes-253008/), even if I quote the thread/edit it, it still holds the spaces and this is how the changelog looks like:



[hidden="Changelog:"]
[hidden="version 1.1"]
[LIST]
[*]Changed the behaviour of how the ChatModeString is filled. It was kind of glitched and included trailing and leading spaces("-what ever -what" would output " ever " instead of "ever"). This is now fixed
[*] Accordingly to the previous mentioned change, I changed the camera example, because the call to [icode=jass]RemoveStartingSpaces[/icode] is no longer needed
[*]Optimized the loop quite a bit
[*]Delimiter that is used is now configurable, instead of hardcoded to "-"
[*]New functions:
[LIST]
[*][icode=jass]SetChatModeDelimiter takes string newDelimiter returns nothing[/icode]
[*][icode=jass]GetChatModeDelimiter takes nothing returns string[/icode]
[/LIST]
[*]New methods:
[LIST]
[*][icode=jass]static method operator delimiter takes nothing returns string[/icode]
[*][icode=jass]static method operator delimiter= takes string newDelimiter returns nothing[/icode]
[/LIST]
[*] Added the forgotten function [icode=jass]RemoveModeString[/icode] to the API
[/LIST]
[/hidden]

[hidden="version 1.0"]
[LIST]
[*]initial release
[/LIST]
[/hidden]
[/hidden]


You can see what is attached to what, because it is tabbed out. If you have hard time seeing, just open notepad and copy it there, tab it out(I used 2 spaces instead of tab, so it was actually harder to create)

Edit: As I see, you must quote my post to see how it looks because its within [plain][/plain] block

I saw that because sometimes people don't see or care of the errors that happens, For example, the image cut off in your sig I can probably fix, but if you can do it yourself, then ok :)
