from: New HTML BBCode.

That is well swanky I'm impressed: Lets have a go....

HTML Code:


<p>
 <b>Removed as per jrobbio's request.</b>
</p>

I think that example was too massive so I changed it.

Thank you Rob, your attempt to test out the new [HTML] bbcode helped me polish it up a bit more: some subtle changes...

Now html / xhtml attribute values are highlighted even if they are not enclosed in quotes and contain a space. e.g.

HTML Code:


<body bgcolor='#ffffff' text="#000000" link = #0000cc vlink = "#551a8b" alink = '#ff0000' onLoad=sf()>

'Number' values in html / xhtml attributes are highlighted too. e.g.

HTML Code:


<p>
  <font size=-1>Smaller</font><br />
  <font size=1>Normal</font><br />
  <font size=+1>Larger</font>
</p>

Hi,

This is a great feature! I'm not sure I like the color choice very much (for some reason, I find the colors very distracting). Perhaps we should just adapt the colors used by standard HTML editors.

Oh, and I just want to test out something...

HTML Code:


<html>
<head>
<title>My Home Page</title>
</head>

<body>
<table width="300" border="1" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000066">
<tr><td>
<font size="5" color="#000000"><b>This is just a test!</b></font>
</td></tr>
</table>

PHP Code:


<html>
<head>
<title>My Home Page</title>
</head>

<body>
<table width="300" border="1" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000066">
<tr><td>
<font size="5" color="#000000"><b>This is just a test!</b></font>
</td></tr>
</table>

What colours are the other editors using? I lifted the colour theme off Dreamweaver, so I didn't realise that there were other 'colour themes' to consider.

By the way, how useful is it if we were to do a few more? e.g. bbcode tags for JavaScript, CSS and / or VBScript?

I haven't got a clue about javascript in the first place so I suppose it would be helpful to learn that way. If you have got them all, then you can say you've got them all

What are some of the applications of the above new Mod?

As J alluded to -- "Perhaps we should just adapt the colors ..." (and what would they be?)
"... used by standard HTML editors." (and which one do you consider standard?)

The editor that I use for PHP programming is HTML-Kit. The colors are pretty much the standard blue for all HTML code, green for comments and quoted strings, and dark blue for PHP commands, CSS, and Javascript. The CSS values actually show up as red, which is kind of nice. Oddly, some PHP commands show up as purple (count, is_numeric, trim, substr) - it seems to apply purple PHP string commands.

In reponse to 'code', asking what the application was for, the best way I can describe the application is that the different colors help a designer/programmer differentiate between various code and non-code elements when posting code on these forums.

Observe the following code example:

PHP Code:


$beer_count=100;
for ($t=0;$t<100;$t++) {
     $beer_count=100-$t;
     $string=$beer_count." bottles of beer on the wall.... ".$beer_count;
     $string.=" bottles of beer.... take one down, pass it around, ";
     $string.=($beer_count -1)." bottles of beer on the wall.<HR>";
     echo $string;
}

Notice how the colors are different among various elements - the strings, the commands, the variables. This is a GREAT feature to have here.
