Text coding question..

Poststructural Pub
1

I have noticed that sometimes folks get more into their text in these messages than the ready codes provide for. It is easy to get the bold, italic, underlined, and

quoted

ones, but how do you get the strikethrough, glow, or move codes to work??[/code] I would asume that they just aren’t available, but i’ve seen them at times here, i’m sure. What’s the trick??

TIA

You can get strikeout using html…

<s>struck out</s>

struck out

I don’t know what “glow” or “move” means…

It looks like some html is disabled on this board, like the infamous blink and
marquee tags, and that may be more recent, so maybe things you’ve seen
in the past were disabled in recent upgrades of phpBB?

Hmmm… when I tried the strikeout code, it didn’t work, but then, I was using the “[” and “]” instead of the “<” and “>” … looks like it works with the “<” and “>” though.

Thanks!

brackets are for BB code
chevrons are for HTML

we’ve been waiting all day…what’s “glow” and “move”

shesh…

Supposedly, ‘move’ will make your text move from one side to the other.

And though I’ve seen it, it apparently doesn’t work here, at least not any more…

Glow supposedly puts a glow around your text. Again, I’ve seen it, and found the code that is supposed to make it work, but it doesn’t here.

sometimes it is the browser, as certain codes work in IE but not others.

The codes tend to be the same, just the brackets get used in BBs and the Chevies in regular HTML coding.

ah…nope no moving stuff

We’ve always used photo shop for highlighting text and just created a graphic

I miss the ability to use the tag. It worked on the last version of this forum but not on this one for some reason.

Glow, Marquee, Strickthrough, Text Align (and all the other weird text-effect) without HTML (BBCode) are supported by SMF Forum Engine, not PHPBB (used by the C&F forums).

I haven’t found much more to play with.

I’ve had trouble in the past getting some HTML tags to work in this forum

I think the forum is a little squeamish when it comes to depreciated tags
