Testing BBTags

Let's see how this goes.

This should be italic.
This should be bold.
This should be underlined.
This should be strikethroughed.
This should be a link.
And this should be a blockquote.

Oookay, I think I need to work on the blockquotes...

Oh, yeah, I did change that.  I think I'll change it back... Done.  Good.

This should be subscript. And some normal text.
This should be superscript. And some normal text.
This should be the Ambient Irony logo:

Now, what else do we have?

This is a citation, which will probably just look like italics.

Oh good, that one works.  I hadn't tested it before.  I wonder:

Excellent.  Onward!

A line in the sand?
This should be small.
But this should be big.

Hmm.  The spoiler and nsfw tags don't work yet, I know that.

Oh, what the heck, let's make a table!

Yep, that works too.

1 Everything looks spiffy, but to be pedantic, you called the superscript a subscript.

2 Oops.  Darn cut and paste!

Pixy, will trackbacks be allowed?  Inline or otherwise?  how about decided only by the blog owner?  If allowed, will they be able to be shut off after say 30 days or so, or perhaps after 15 days?

Beautiful work my friend, absolutely beautiful.  Much better than MT or Wordpress and for sure much better than blogger...

Trackbacks are evil, one of the stupidest things ever created by the mind of blog-tools programmers, and ripe for abuse from the very beginning.

Not needed, and not wanted. Leave 'em out!

5 I agree with Steven; the last time I checked, 99.8% of trackbacks were spam, and the problem was growing rapidly.

Having said that, there will be trackbacks, or something like them.  Snark® was a fairly efficient filter until I blew it up last June, and it will only get better as I get a larger user base to work with.

Thanks!

There are some odd bumps here and there that still need filing off, but I'm at the point now where all the previous hard work is coming together.  For example, yesterday I was able to get RSS and Atom feeds working in a couple of hours, even though they needed lots of custom formatting and had to be produced as XML, neither of which had been tested until then.

7 Okay, bbcode not enabled in comments.  Add another one to the buglist!

Here's another one for your "fix it in your copious spare time" list:

I have gotten into the habit of using the tab key to move from field to field. Since you don't store the name/mail/web fields, I have to enter them each time, and I use tab to move from field to field. But from the "web" field, tab takes me to the "post" button, not to the comment entry frame.

9 I'll take a look at the cookie code - it should remember you.  Once you register, it will definitely remember you.  I hope.

As for tabbing into the editor - yes, that's a problem.  At worst, I can fix it with a bit of Javascript.

10 I just looked, and I do have a cookie from "minx.cc" which contains the information that should be in those three fields. There's also a cookie from "mee.nu" which does not have that information. Could you be writing it to one cookie and trying to read it from the other?

Posted by: Steven Den Beste at Monday, March 12 2007 02:41 AM (+rSRq)

11 Hmm.

The old version was running from minx.cc; the new one is mee.nu.  Clearly it's not setting the cookie properly.

Thanks for the info.  I'll get that fixed.
