Testing forum display and formatting
Testing forum display and formatting
This is just a test of how the forum formats excess space characters and tab characters so that I can understand how best to format posts.
Test of space and tabs:

EDIT: note that the spaces and tabs are lost

Test of other bbCode colors
eg Lightsteelblue
Lightsteelblue

Ok, that's quite useful as i can almost make some characters invisible

Going back to my original example:

If I find a colour that better matches the forum blue then i should be able to make the formatting (spacer) dots disappear altogether.

Using gcolor2, the forum blue is #DEE3E7
(Click the eyedropper icon then click the forum page.)
Closest color name is: Pattens Blue #D3E5EF
according to https://www.htmlcsscolor.com/hex/DEE3E7

Ok, well here is my schematic - which would not display correctly because of the stripping of spaces and tabs. Now I have added fullstop dots as space holders.

Not sure why it displays so badly. Looks fine in leafpad.
Never mind - next i will add color tags to hide dots and see where that gets me.

Hmmmph. Must be a difference in font kerning. Back to the drawing board.

Let me try that again but replacing dots with hyphens:

Getting closer but no cigar yet.

Thanks - For some reason I am seeing a difference between my "offline" leafpad results and my "online" browser results - even if I useenrique wrote:I know you are in the space stuff.
But characters modifiers survive in [ quote ]
Lightsteelblue
Code: Select all
tags or [quote] tags.
Especially if I view the browser results on different devices (eg Blackberry browser).
I think I have more than one issue. Need to understand best font and size selection and also understand the reasons that phpBB fora wrap text outside and inside of quote and code tags. (seems different on different browsers!)
