Thread: Sandbox

One thing that is unclear is what characters are working.
Some get changed by the board:
This was a non breaking space: '*', an inverted exclamation mark:'?', a florin character: 'ƒ'

Hmm, the code says:
dir="ltr" lang="en"
charset=ISO-8859-1

How works INDENT? Lorem ipsum without any CRs

indented part of the text, the markup is written with any intervening blanks or other whitespace, so no tab character, no carriage return, no linefeed, no other spacer in between

this line is after the closing tag.
?

some basic format tags: COLOR=LemonChiffon SIZE=5 FONT=Times New Roman bold italic underline Alignments all written WITHOUT carriage return:

left

text after the /LEFT tag continues here

center

text after center

right

text after right
----
lists are added at the end of the text, NOT at the position of the cursor ? removed all carriage returns:

1. list=1 a numbered list
2. first item
3. second
4. third
5. ...

text after list text before alphabetical list

1. list=a an alphabetical list
2. first item
3. second
4. third
5. ...

text after list

Quoting quotes about quoting quotes

Found one test already: quoting quotes at
most common web "language?"

Interesting thread . Here is one I am testing

http://woodfloorist.com/1/serpentine2.html

Leave the page open for two minutes and see if you can figure out what the code does.

Wistow, thanks for the link to the vB code help page, I did not see it altough I was looking for it.

More tests:

some special characters:
Cedilla = ALT 0130: ‚
Florin = ALT 0131: ƒ
Y with diarese = ALT 0159: Ÿ

code 0128 Courier: ??‚ƒ„…†‡ˆ‰Š‹Œ????''""•–—˜™š›œ??Ÿ
code 0128 Verdana: ??‚ƒ„…†‡ˆ‰Š‹Œ????''""•–—˜™š›œ??Ÿ
code 0160: *????????????*??????????????????

Problems With Characters in a Post:
using non breaking blank: "if age*<*20 then teener." Note that the non breaking blank can be typed as ALT*0160. Can be used to write* *l*i*k*e* *t*h*a*t** *a*n*d* *s*t*i*l*l* *k*e*e*p* *w*o*r*d*s* *i*n*t*a*c*t* *a*t* *t*h*e* *e*n*d* *o*f* *l*i*n*e*.

BUT NOTE that the current vBulletin changes silently the nbsp to a star. So: don't use nbsp aka ALT+0160 ?

----
code tag switches to a fixed-width, monospace font and preseves all spacing.

Code:

first line
   .   ,  o  "    ^     A      /\   |__|  /\ 
,.-^/\/ \/ \/ \  / \   / \    /--\  |  | /--\
last line

after /code tag
----
size tag changes size of text: size=Option value /size
size=+1 one size larger /size
size=1 minimum size? size=2 size=3 size=4 5 6 7 7 is maximum?
size=-1 one size smaller /size
