Extensive Guide to Forum Syntax

Do we have an underline option?

No?

<ins> does that but there’s no way to remove the green stuff sadly :frowning:

Also apparently the original thread for this stuff was unpinned :thinking:

I have discovered a few tricks recently for tables in HTML, I will update this thread with this new data soon™, mainly focuses on aligning text and images on top of each other.

Syntax Guide Patch Notes

New:

Backslash Escapes \

Stops any syntax from rendering and behave like normal text. Example:

\<b>Hello world!\</b>
\*\*Hello world!**

Results in:

<b>Hello world!</b>
**Hello world!**

Without Backslash Escapes:

Hello world!
Hello world!

Hashtags #

Even though Hashtags are meant for something else completely outside of here, in DIscourse they work as a way to link to other Sub forums, write down # then the Sub-Forum’s name to make a direct link to those who are seem kinda… lost in where to post specifically.

Example:

#general-discussion
#bug-report
#technical-support
#hero-and-skin-suggestions

Issues:

Requires text before the hashtag to work properly, remove the text after writing down the hashtag link should work normally.


Updated:

Text Alignment

Now renamed to Content Alignment, content of that section has been updated to resemble the title.

Image Preview:

No longer shows a line as an image preview, instead will show heart, only visible if thread was linked from outside the forums, (Like Discord or a different official Blizzard forums).

Sami, please. How can I post links that others can copy paste? I tried the code function, but that didn’t work.
I miss my 3 :frowning:

I have no clue, that’s the only way.

`link` should technically work.

I have added a FAQ with 5 questions I expect people to ask most of the time, please review and tell me what you think.

I am still amazed that this doesn’t work for me. I don’t know why.
But those FAQ are nice, I wish I had them back then. Maybe scale down the font size a bit, at least on mobile it looks oppressively huge.

Oh god yeah, should probably remove the big and bold stuff.

Quick update, kept the bold, removed the hugeness, thoughts?

Way better.
Any reason why you don’t use the dropdown (details) code? OP is huge and scrolling through it takes forever. Was it there before? did you remove it?

Kept it open from a design point, besides you can jump to anywhere using the content page.

For the new year celebration, I added Inline Frame to the list.

Allows users to embed documents from outside the forums that can do a lot of things

Probably require Trust Level 3, also styling for iframe(s) are disabled to avoid security breaches.

I cannot find the “invite user” option anymore. Was it removed?
How do I now notify someone?

I know, that’s the best thread to ask…

It was baked with “Topic Controls” under “Share”, you change it from “Send a link” to “Send an Invite”.
