UBB Codes: I need some help...

[yin26]

Ted,

That was my question, too. HTML is cumbersome in comparison to UBB. I've searched the Internet but only found those few things in UBB code I listed above.

[TheHelperMonkey]

To edit the font do <font type="(any font in c:windows/fonts)"> then type in the message (make the message touch brackets) </font>

There you go!

To do color, just do <font color=""> and then follow my directions up top.

to do size do <font size="+(any number from 1 to 7).

Here let me do some demostrations and then you click and try to edit my posts to see the typing in action.

<font size="+1">look at this</font>

<font type arial>and this...</font>

<font color="blue">lastly this</font>

[TheHelperMonkey]

Ignore the first part of my message...

Do do font do this... To edit the font do {font type="(any font in c:windows/fonts)"} then type in the message (replace those with regular brackets) {/font>}

to do color do {font color="any color"}

to do size do {font size="+ (don't forget the plus) any number from 1-7}

hope it helps.

Are we talking angle brackets: < >
Or Square brackets: []

I already know how to do fonts, colors, sizes with HTML (angle brackets).

I was wondering if the same kind of thing could be done with UBB codes. I just tried your examples with square brackets and it did not work.

Hah! No self-respecting web hacker should use the FONT tag.

See <a href="http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/~mudws/font.html">What's wrong with the FONT element?</a> and <a href="http://www.isoc.org:8080/web_ml/html/fontface.html">&lt;FONT FACE&gt; considered harmful</a>.

The right way is to use HTML to define the structure of your document, and use style sheet to define the appearance. Take it from me, don't build up a bad habit.

Is this HTML or UBB:

[font color="red" size="+7" face="Impact"]Hi.[/font]

Replace the brackets with greater/lesser signs, of course. Is it HTML or UBB?

[Rong]

JT,

That's HTML. A complete list of current UBB Codes are <a href="http://apolyton.net/forums/ubbcode.html">listed here</a>.

I don't get no respect. No respect at all I tell ya.

Why just the other day I stopped in over at the SMAC forums and they told me I didn't deserve to BLAH.

I tell ya it ain't easy being me!
