: What do [CODE] and [HTML] tags do? cjcoburn 06-05-2010, 08:42 PM Hello All, So what do the [CODE] and [HTML] tag buttons do? Is there a place on VN750.com where their use and function are explained? http://home.comcast.net/~countersteer/Sources/Format_Buttons.JPG I look forward to your help. IMBoring25 06-06-2010, 12:39 AM After a little experimation, it appears they're a few of those things that, if you don't know what they are, you probably don't need to. :) CODE drops word wrap and doesn't drop multiple spaces. It's useful when you're giving someone code that's broken into lines and/or where spacing matters. PROGRAM HelloWorld IMPLICIT NONE PRINT*, "Hello, World!" PRINT*, " There are 5 spaces indenting the beginning of this PRINT statement and it continues on as a single line for however many characters I want to keep writing on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on" END PROGRAM HelloWorld HTML provides context highlighting for the HTML language. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>This is cheesy and old-style HTML, but demonstrates the point</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <CENTER> <IMG SRC="Photo1.jpg"><BR> A <B>p</B>h<B>o</B>t<B>o</B>. </CENTER> </BODY> </HTML> And the PHP function would supply context highlighting for the PHP language, if I remembered it, I'm sure. cjcoburn 06-06-2010, 03:03 PM Ahhh...thanks IMBoring25. Thanks for taking the time to experiment, guess that's something I could have done. In my defense, however, I had a wiring harness to put back together :D. Check it out -> http://vimeo.com/12285659. It also looks like I can use the HTML in my signature to get a list of all my mods. Right now including the mods makes the signature too long. So I'm thinking I can use HTML to have my sig reference a little html page I can make. Thanks again. cjcoburn 06-06-2010, 03:55 PM Or maybe I can't use HTML in my signature. http://home.comcast.net/~countersteer/Sources/No_HTML.JPG Ah well. :) IMBoring25 06-06-2010, 11:14 PM If you just want to link to a webpage you make separately, you can UBB code that with [ L = Text of your link here ] http://www.google.com [ / L ] Omit all the extraneous spaces and use your own text and URL to your externally-hosted page. cjcoburn 06-06-2010, 11:34 PM Gotcha. That's what I kind of did in my signature where it reads "1986 VN 750 Ebony". That link shows a larger picture of my bike. 1986 VN 750 Ebony (http://home.comcast.net/~countersteer/Sources/MyBike.JPG) My hope was for my signature to have a frame in it that would be populated by an external web page of my creation. At this point I may go with a picture that lists my mods. I've seen where slimvulcanrider has done that. mpulse 06-10-2010, 03:07 PM for signatures and other html you can use a free program by microsoft... Its called sharepoint designer. its free cjcoburn 06-10-2010, 11:20 PM Hey mpulse, Thanks for the tip. We are starting to implement Sharepoint at work. I think that designer might be a bit more than I need. In fact, I have my signature in HTML already for my VROC posts. Thanks for your pointer, though. InvisiBill 09-10-2010, 04:13 PM FYI, there's a link at the bottom of the reply page that explains what all the different BBcodes do. BB code (http://www.vn750.com/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode) is On Most forum software blocks HTML by default, as a security measure. If HTML is allowed in postings, it's very easy to make a post that screws up the rest of that page. BBcode is a very HTML-like markup that allows you to do most of the HTML stuff you'd want to use on a forum (links, images, text formatting, etc.) without having to deal with the security issues of allowing actual HTML. In the example of using a frame in your sig to show a page on a different site, you could have malicious content on that page, which would then get loaded for anyone who happened to view a topic with any of your posts. I'm not saying that anyone here would try to do something like that, but it opens up a big can of worms that people could take advantage of. If you have your own hosted website (not just webspace from your ISP), you might be able to use a tool like ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/) to overlay text onto an image dynamically for a sig. Sort of like Slim's sig, but just with a text overlay on top of the image, rather than putting the text into the image itself. Then if something changes, you can just change the text that gets inserted into the image, rather than having to redo the whole image. That might be a lot of setup work for something that doesn't change a whole lot though... Here's an example: http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg (http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg) The server takes information that's sent along with your browser's request for that image and dynamically places your details into the image. Everyone who looks at that image will see their own IP/ISP/OS/browser details. P.S. For posting examples, the noparse tag (http://www.vn750.com/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode#noparse) can be handy. It lets you put actual BBcode in your post without the forum software actually rendering it. Here's how I did the quoted link above. BB code (http://www.vn750.com/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode) is On | |
