While writing my recent post in the "Your adventures in Skyrim" thread, I created two new BBCodes:

InlineSpoiler: displays the
hidden text
button within the line

TextWidth: limits the max width of a text in pixels
(in combination with [align=justify][/align] it can be used to match the width of a text with the width of an image that is embedded with imgc)



Edit:
I fixed the links in all posts of the thread.

Our newest custom BBCodes are hashtag and nbsp (non-breaking space)

Hashtag: It's popular social media feature to enable crosss-referencing of content (see Wikipedia). As soon as a user clicks on a hashtag in a post, the forum search will be executed which lists all posts matching the hashtag.
(And yes, the forum search does now work for guests as well ;).)

Non-breaking space: You can use this feature to prevent an automatic line break in the wrong place. I implemented it because I wanted that all parts of certain terms in the board index (like the term "The Elder Scrolls" or "The Witcher Series") stay in one line on smaller screens.

I applied the nbsp BBCode to this post by the way to demonstrate it :D. This is how it looks in the posting editor: (like the term "The[nbsp]Elder[nbsp]Scrolls"

When I'm going to publish the new story, I'm certainly going to use those new codes. Since my stories won't be as large as the ones Steve posts, I can join the various parts in one post and have a different thread for those. But first, the backstory.

I'm glad you like it :sn-2:.


I updated the main post adding a > go back to Index link to each custom BBCode subsection to make the navigation within this long post even more comfortable.

A nice new feature! I can already see use for the new story (stories) I'm writing!

I added an inline code BBCode ("c") that displays the code within a line. Go to Inline Code BBCode

I updated every post in this thread with the new "anchor" and "goto" BBCodes to make the navigation in long posts easier. An index with all available custom BBCodes has been added to the Custom BBCodes section for faster access.

I added the "hide" BBCode created by Alfredo Ramos (allows certain content inside a post to be hidden to guests). Go to hide BBCode sample.

On top, I wrote the imgc BBCode which lets you embed an image (direct link) with a customizable image dimension. So images which are embedded with this BBCode are not limited to the default max width of 400px!

Sample (embed an image from Nexus Mods and set the max width to 1000 px):

Code: Select all

[imgc=1000]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/images/1151/287627-1612995239.jpg[/imgc]

New BBCodes:
  • hr creates a horizontal line
  • indent indents a paragraph any number of pixels from the left
  • floatl floats an image to the left and floatr floats an image to the right; the text is wrapped around the image (this BBcode is not listed in the posting buttons bar)
  • box forces a line break after a paragraph that contains a floated image (this BBcode is not listed in the posting buttons bar)

You can find sample codes for each new BBCode in the first post (oldest one) of this thread (I listed them at the beginning of the Custom BBCodes section).

Furthermore, I removed the Spotify and Vimeo BBCodes from the posting buttons bar to tidy up the bar (some of the newly added BBCodes are not part of this bar as well to make the bar look less cluttered). Don't worry, the BBCodes in question can still be used by typing them.


As a side note, I adjusted the layout of the code boxes so that you don't need to scroll anymore when a line of code is too long.
