I'm experimenting with various tags out there on the interweb. I have IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera installed, but somewhat to my surprise I have ended up gravitating to Opera as my favorite browser. Anyway, nice to see that the glow effect works with Opera.
See here. These are the workhorse tags that I use. There's a lot more HTML tags that could be added than those, to do fancier things. But just figured I'd share.
@Metalloman Text within the <pre> tag is in a different font, one where each character takes up the same amount of space. Compare that with the usual forum font where characters are mostly different widths.
Yes, I've seen that < pre > tag uses a different font, I just wonder how can I do to mantain the same thing I want to show if it changes the font...have you any suggestion?
EDIT: ...and what are those <br /> tags? I see also that some lines are not in the right order, as I've not pushed the Enter key to go down...they just continue on the same line, instead..
@Metalloman You can try pasting your diagrams in Notepad, which uses a monospaced font by default (Courier New) and adjusting them there before putting them back in the <pre> tags. That's what I do.
Uhm...so, as you've said I should not have problems creating diagrams in notepad then pasting in <pre> as they have the same spaced fonts? Thanks for the info, @Jalily!!
With the pre tag, you have to be careful with the spacing. The spacing most likely won't be as it appears in the comment box, so make sure to use the preview regularly .
Notice in this one where the formatting stays as it should be; font, bold, and underlined are displayed as normal.
In that example, I have used tabs to get the spacing - it is difficult, almost impossible, to get the spacing right without using a monospace font, which is why tabs are necessary. You cannot use tabs in the comment box, though, which means typing out what you want and using tabs in something like notepad, then copying it into the comment box. If you want the same example but using the monospace type font, then the following is an example.
In this example, you can see that the spacing looks off (quote to see the text), but it appears fine. Each item, the boxes and spacing at the edges, has four spaces separating them. Again, make sure you make use of the preview if you want to use a pre tag.
This is how the text for that example should appear in the comment box: ------------------------ | _____ _____ | | | 1 | | 2 | | | ''''' ''''' | | _____ _____ | | | 3 | | 4 | | | ''''' ''''' |
Not terribly neat, but the monospace font fixes that.
Optional examples:
If you want to use the same font that is used in the posts rather than the monospace font, then use inherit - example:
This is some text within a pre tag. This is some more text, but with more spacing at the beginning.
Or, if you have a font in mind, you can set it to that instead.
This is some text within a pre tag. This is some more text, but with more spacing at the beginning.
If you want to use the pre tag without the border and padding, you can change that, too - here is an example:
This is some text within a pre tag. This is some more text, but with more spacing at the beginning.
Note that if you use different fonts, the spacing will need to be accounted for.
<br /> or <br> is a break line, or new line. Example:
This is some text; This text is separated by a <br /> tag.
You shouldn't be getting <br /> tags by default when posting. However, the most likely reason for this occurring in your case is due to the <----- arrow. This occurs when the website assumes you are starting a HTML tag, but doesn't detect a closing digit.
Example:
<------ Some text over here.
<------ Some more text.
You should be able to overcome this in two ways. One, by adding a closing digit to your arrow, example:
@Dee, the reason I asked is because when looking into it, I found that the /plugins/Spoilers/css/spoilers.css is no longer linked in the head (which is the cause of the loss of formatting and the visibility issue), so I wasn't sure if it was just me or not. Apparently not.
Is LaTeX supposed to work around here? Let me try:
EDIT: Damn... does anyone know, @Dee maybe, if this can be achieved?
Simple answer: no. No LaTeX support here.
It's just basic HTML (with styling) here. Having said that, if you want to be really clever, like I do on occasion, then you can write all the styling and get most of the different sorts of equations in HTML.
Example:
baseline∞∑n=0xnbaseline
If that seems like too much hard work, then I would suggest creating an image of the equation.
@JonSnowIsAlive, this one will most certainly put a smile on your face, then.
f(x) = a0+∞ ∑ n=1(an cos nπx L +bn sin nπx L )
I can occasionally give the appearance of being intelligent.
This forum software is surprisingly agile and modular, allowing for all barring the more advanced CSS such as hovering and CSS5 transitions (both due to requiring a style class).
Comments
Example: Glow
<span class="glow">Glow</span>.Or you can do your own colour by using styles: text-shadow: [Horizontal] [Vertical] [Blur Radius] [Shadow Color].
Example: Red glow, blue glow, green glow, yellow glow, pink glow.
You can use the default class="glow" on this site with any tag for the sake of simplicity.
Examples: Underscored text
Italicised text
Bold text
Bold and Italicised text
I would only suggest using it on headers, however.
(If that's not the case, ignore me
If you use anything else, like filters, then it is likely that it will only appear in Internet Explorer. For maximum compatibility, use styles:

animated cyclops!
< IMG SRC="url for animated gif" (remove the space after the left arrow bracket)

Why when I tried to use the < pre > function to post this:
Example 1
then it goes like this:
Example 2
shouldn't this function keep the formatting options? Where I'm wrong?

I should have thought it before! XD

Is it just me, or do the spoiler tags appear to be broken?
Yay, they're back

Or the HTML version of your own equation:
∑nj=1 j = 1 + 2 + 3 + … + n =n(n+1)

that is [quote], [q], [b], etc
< font size="5" face="arial">Text< /font>
