Implementing [c]

[One Brow]

On boardgamegeek, apparently you can use [c] and [/c] to change your post, so that you can use spaces and table to line things up without tables. Can that be implemented here?

 

[Hotdog]

Yes

No.

did you mean tab?

 

[One Brow]

Yes, thank you.

 

[Jason]

I'm confused. Can you point me to a sample of this somewheres?

By the way, I think something new was implemented today. I was in the middle of writing a post (on my laptop) when my screen refreshed and all of a sudden a row of new editing/formatting tools appeared.

Not sure if there's any difference on tapatalk though!

I put the following text in the bottom of a thread at boardgamegeek.

[c]1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10[/c]

You can see it here, the last comment in the thread:

Ah, tabs. Ok. Thanks.

I didn't use any tabs. That was just spaces.

I think he was saying, "Ah, the [c] tags cause spaces to act like tabs."

That's not what I meant. I used five spaces before each number, except for four spaces before the "10", to line them up. Each space still takes one space.

Aha. So it's basically just a command to use a fixed width font and to not merge spaces. It's therefore essentially identical to the "

" tag which this board supports, except it doesn't place the text in a special box.

[code]1     2     3     4     5      
6     7     8     9    10

edit: I made it be two lines, like OB's example.

Yes, that sounds about right.

 

[colton]

Sounds like a good thing to add. I've wanted that functionality before.

 

[moevillini]

i am pretending I know what this is about

[c]1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 [/c]

but I don't...

except that when I first hit "Quick Reply" I get one set of tags and when I hit "Go Advanced" I get a second set of tags.

So I am going to try the # sign and see what it does

#1 2 3 4 5
2 4 6 8 10#

or


[#]1 2 3 4 5
2 4 6 8 10[/#]

so it just displayed what was typed...
so either it doesn't work, or I'm not doing it correctly or both

gonna try the "table" tag

1	2
3	6
4	8

wow, that's kind of cool

 

[Jason]

[c]1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10[/c]

How's that? You can use the BBCode [c]. Let me know of any issues.

 

[colton]

[c]this
is
a
lot
of
fun[/c]
