Continued testing of the emergency bloodcasting system.

Edit: Interesting. Viewing the raw code shows just a solid arrow but the Discourse parser converts it to one with a border around it.

It depends on which arrows you use.

From the Character Map:

U+2190 U+2192 U+2191 U+2193

Produces:

← → ↑ ↓

I got these from Symbols & Fancy Text under the “Arrows Symbols” section:

:arrow_left: :arrow_right: :arrow_up: :arrow_down:

The right arrow was near the top of that section. The left, up and down arrows were from the bottom of that section.

➩ Now there’s a thought…

Hrm. I should bookmark that site. Might come in handy someday.

Kinda wish they’d format their Japanese character sympols in the A/I/U/E/O format (e.g. か き く け こ, た ち つ て と) with separate Hiragana and Katakana tables. Much easier to read that way.

Testing

Blockquote Element

Syntax used:

<blockquote><p>blockquoted text goes here</p></blockquote>

Sample text used (for nested quote with first level already embedded):

2.4 Oculus changes :

    •No longer rolls with guaranteed Attack Speed, Reduced Damage from Elites, or Resistance to All Elements
    •Now rolls with a guaranteed socket
    •Bonus damage increased from 30-40% to 70-85%
    •The damage bonus provided by this item is now multiplicative with other sources of damage
    •The damage bonus provided by this item no longer stacks with overlapping zones
    •Damage zone now spawns at a random location near the monster that was killed
    •The chance to summon a zone is now 100%


Main consequence of these change, max AS has been reduced ! However given the enhanced proc, Oculus is still one of the best choices for follower gearing. Legacy Oculus can still be used in adition with 2.4 Oculus, however there will be no difference between proced zones. 

Produces this:

Excellent! :+1:

Later I will test using sample text that is not preformatted.

Oops! I can’t get out of the quote block. :stuck_out_tongue:

Tried removing formatting from sample text. Did it work?

Not completely. Still getting some quote blocks. :stuck_out_tongue:

Try again, taking MissCheetah’s tip on pasting to Excel first. Then pasting here, without using Word.

Same results.

Okay. Gotta do it the hard way. Pasting everything into NotePad and then line by line removing all spaces and tabs, saving, reopen and copying all. :stuck_out_tongue:

Found an interesting bug in the forum editor window. If you are using the split view mode where you get a live preview of your post’s code in final form and you are editing code that you pasted in from a previous session (i.e. you had some code you needed to edit and wanted a live preview while doing so), if either side of an html tag <> appears exactly at either edge of the window’s text field when pasted in, if you attempt to insert text before or after the offending tags, or between two tags where one side of each tag is on the very edge of the window, the parser won’t know what to do with it and will wig out.

To avoid issues with editing code after pasting in from a document, you can temporarily switch to single view mode by clicking the hide preview link in the editor window and then insert the new code, after which you can switch back to the split view mode and continue working.

This affects only tags that perfectly flush at the beginning or end of a line in the editor window when in split view mode, and then only if the code was pasted from the clipboard. It does not happen on brand new freshly typed code.

Interesting. Thanks for the tip! Let me test it out.

Deleted Remaining Text

Hmm… I appreciate the effort, but that didn’t seem to help. It appears, with what I’m doing, I would still have to go line by line to edit out the bullets and tabs. I’d rather do that in a text editor first. Then I can post and edit here in the forum.

Cheers, mate! :beer:

Testing

Centering embedded images

Linked BBCode

[url=https://imgur.com/HCVw4Kz][img]http://i.imgur.com/HCVw4Kz.jpg[/img][/url]

Comments: Not exactly the result I was looking for.

BBCode

[img]https://i.imgur.com/HCVw4Kz.jpg[/img]

Comments: Again, not the result I was looking for.

HTML

Comments: Okay. That works for center embedding. But, Ctrl-clicking (or mouse button-clicking) opens the image in a new tab on imgur’s website. The only way to open the image outside of imgur is to right-click it and then Ctrl-click the option to “Open in New Tab”.

Markdown Link

[Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/HCVw4Kz.jpg)

Comments: Same result as before.

Direct Link

https://i.imgur.com/HCVw4Kz.jpg

Comments: Nope.

Image Link

https://imgur.com/HCVw4Kz

Comments: Nope.

I suppose I’ll have to decide whether or not it’s worth centering.

This is the same image without centering:

Comments: Now, when I Ctrl-click that one, it opens in a new tab, outside imgur’s website. :smile:

The reason the centered one doesn’t work is because it’s using the link to the imgur page with thumbnail, not the actual picture itself. The non-centered one below your centered one uses the actual picture (ending in .jpg) and is thus able to be CTRL/CMD-clicked to open in a new tab.

You can force the issue with HTML like so:

<a href="ActualPicURLHere"><div align="center"><img src="ThumbnailPicURLHere"></a></div>

Thank you! :beer:

That’s exactly what I was looking for. :+1:

Looking at your results, it appears you just used the image’s Direct Link twice. Like this:

<a href="https://i.imgur.com/HCVw4Kz.jpg"><div align="center"><img src="**https://i.imgur.com/HCVw4Kz.jpg**"></a></div>

In the case of imgur, I had no choice. Linking its page failed to produce a pic. Sadly the way they do embedding breaks on Discourse. Under normal circumstances, any image you link can use the webpage image URL and the “source” URL can in fact be what I stated in my code up above.

I’ll be able to show/tell you an example shortly (but not quite yet).

Hence, Perusoe’s Testing Grounds. :wink: :laughing:

Testing. (Modified syntax to fit on one line and boldface for caption.

Did that work?

Okay. It can’t be done on one line. It has to be on 4 lines, with the second line being a line feed.

Here’s the modified syntax I used that worked:

Ewww. That works, but man that’s messy syntax there. Not saying it’s wrong syntax (it obviously works), but that’s gonna be a nightmare to debug if something goes wrong. Sadly I can’t find a way to do the equivalent with HTML without CSS enabled as that type of inline enlarging requires HTML5 and HTML5 is crippled beyond belief without CSS. :frowning:

Nope, can’t do it with straight HTML. Definitely requires CSS, and even javascript.

Testing nested in a table cell…

Distance Pic

Yep, works in a table cell. That’s an improvement. And despite the syntax screwiness it might be a worthwhile compromise for improved functionality.

Edit 2: Looks like this only works on the actual full sized pics and not thumbnails that lead to a full sized pic. That makes it impractical for tables. :frowning:

For clarification, what that means is that if the image is too large for the regular forum width, it’ll size down automatically via the Discourse parser. If, however, the image in question is small enough that it does not need to be resized, you get the whole shebang, not a thumbnail or reduction. In that case the lightbox merely moves the pic to the center of the screen when clicked on instead of that plus upsizing to its original size.
