[color=gray][sub]I've been wanting to make a guide for a while now that kind of helps explain some of the weird bbcode tricks I make use of. I've just never been really good at organizing my thoughts into something that others can read. Things come to me in bits and pieces and sometimes out of order and I can never figure out where to place them. So, I've decided I'm just going to do it and hopefully whatever I end up stitching together will be to someone's benefit. Maybe someone else who is better at organization can come through later on and make a cleaner, more clear version of this. This isn't going to be an in-depth look into how each element of the code I'm using works. This is going to assume that either you already understand or you do not and just want the pieces that you can put together yourself like a Lego set. If you want to better understand what's in use here, [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/182102-sup-erstars-advanced-bbcode-hacks-1/ooc][noparse][SUP]ERSTARS – Advanced BBCode Hacks 1[/noparse][/url] and [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/182719-strong-and-s-table-advanced-bbcode-hacks-2/ooc][noparse]STRONG AND S[TABLE] – Advanced BBCode Hacks 2[/noparse][/url] are two guides by the amazing [@Roach] that perfectly explain the mechanics of our weird bbcode system and how to make it your own. They also contain two specific bbcode techniques that I use in excess. I'd like to point out that I don't know anything about actual coding. It might also be important to consider that some of this may become irrelevant when and if Mahz pushes through changes to our bbcode. I can't guarantee that taking the time to figure this out for yourself won't ultimately be wasted effort. That being said, no one's going to stop me from wasting my own time, so... I will be making two guides (you can f3 to the number):[/sub][/color] [sub][s]01. [color=gray]Text Boxes[/color][/s] [color=red][sup]broken[/sup][/color] [s]02.
