Title: BBcode Live Sandbox
Post by: nullius on October 31, 2020, 10:41:59 AM
This forum’s BBcode is largely undocumented, and inconsistent with documentation found by searching the Web.  Worse:  The CSS between the preview page is slightly inconsistent with the CSS applied to posts.  This sometimes causes posts that look fine in preview to break horribly when they go live.

I just wasted most of the time that I had intended for writing a post, futilely attempting to debug a table layout issue in a preview page—with results that may not even work!  I have therefore decided to raise the quality of Off-topic forum discussion...

  • I NEED HELP, MASTURBATION IS KILLING ME New « 1 2  All »
  • Not gay but attracted to women with penis New « 1 2  All »
  • What is your bad habit in everyday?
  • (Promotion of paid academic cheating services) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2407428.msg55490043#msg55490043)
  • ...

...by making a thread for sandbox experimentation!

Local rules:

You may make at most ONE post in this thread (unless a discussion of BBcode begins here).

I will nuke on sight anything that even remotely smells like sigspam or post-count bumping.  If you are wearing a paid signature, I will probably delete your post unless you have a high reputation and a solid post history.

Some users are categorically banned from my self-moderated threads.  You know who you are.  Don’t try it here.

At any time, I may delete ALL posts in this thread and/or lock the topic.  It is like testnet.  Stuff may disappear.  Don’t rely on it.  (If you are a high-quality poster, I will probably leave your post alone so that you can experiment in the future by edits without bumping the topic.)

reserved for my own sandbox experimentation

Code:
$ cat /tmp/test

Why, oh why does the left-hand image size get overridden/squeezed!?  I have tried every bbcode trick that I know...  F this taking all my time so I won’t even be able to finish the post.

  Happy Bitcoinday!
