HTML in Title

Postby Anthony Roberts » Mon May 31, 2004 2:42 pm

Although this has been removed from people being able to TYPE in HTML, what if there were preset possibilities for notes when creating or editing.

What I mean is, have two drop down menus on the right or under the title box, one for selecting font colour and the other for size. This way, the players couldn't still put HTML in the title, but be allowed to still grasp different colours and sizes for their notes for important things, like laws or recruitment notes on the ground, so others notice them.

Or radio buttons, bold, italics.., or tick boxes. It's a bit annoying not being able to have html in notes. All new notes are the same.

Well, you can still have HTML in the "notes" - just not the title. But I'm sure that's what you meant.

Well, kroner, I believe you are able to say thank you personally to the guy who is responsible for the HTML privilege being taken away. :)

Bump. I was planning to make a topic for something like this but then I found this and decided to bump this one instead.

I think that often it's really annoying keeping a long list of notes apart from eachother, making it hard to spot certain notes. So this would be a really neat addition IMO.

I'm not sure how hard it would be to program but it would be good if there was a limited set of font colors one could choose from, and the ability to change font face and size. If the colors were predefined, they could be tinted to fit the green background to make them less glaring. It looks damn ugly to see bright blue or red font on a green background, but if they were toned down a bit, they wouldn't look that glaring anymore.

The only problem with this suggestion, is that you'd almost have to redesign the notes interface somewhat. I could see having BBcode-like boxes (except that would work better than BBcode).
