It would be really nice if the most basic text-formatting tags, such as Bold, Underlined and Italic worked.

Once that is done... we could go for the Font Size and Color tags.

...unless I'm doing it wrong and the tags absolutely need to be capitalized in order to work right...

Nope... they just don't work.

from your list, ingame browser can only manage color tag.
there is no *bold*, _underline_ or /italic/ so bbCode would have no effect ;-)

Color works ? I haven't seen anybody use it yet. But still, those 3 are the most basic text formatting tags, they should get implemented. ^^;

yes, it works ;P

Awesome. Now that I think of it... a "Preview" button wouldn't be too bad either...

Good idea, a "Preview" button !

Preview Button : Done
Color : Done
Bold : Not Done
Italic : Not Done
Underlined : Not Done

Still not done ! ;) Just a reminder.

W00t ! Finally ! You can add a [DONE] tag to this thread, now, moderators... the forum gods have made my wish come true. Double hugs offerings !!!

Okay i have been trying to figure it out but i just cant seem to
How can you change the color of the text?? Also, is it possible to change the font size???

Font size can be changed in the settings menu. Go to System, Game Config, Interface, Chat color, and at the bottom, you see a slider bar for Font size.

The font size inside a post can only be influenced by the heading.
Our eventteam made a summary of the working codes some time ago. Let me try to translate:
------------------snip---------------------

Headings

Six headlines are available:

[h1]Headline 1[/h1]

[h2]Headline 2[/h2]

[h3]Headline 3[/h3]

Those are only visible via external webbrowser:
[b]bold[/b] [i]italic[/i] [u]underline[/u]

Paragraph

Not available at all.

Quotes

Quotes are working in game and external:

Ignore tags

It is possible to ignore BB-Code tags completely:
[noparse][h1]Text with BB-Code[/h1][/noparse]

Combine codes

It is allowed to use several BB-Codes at the same time. However those are usually not displayed correctly inside the game and the order is relevant.

Works only externally:

[color=yellow][h5]-[/h5][/color]

Doesn't work at all:

[h5][color=yellow]-[/color][/h5]

(Comment by Nendra: Looks strange though. I think this was white when I first saw the post, now it is black from outside the game.)

Images

Images work internal and external. PNG and JPG are allowed but they should not be too large. There is no restriction regarding the aspect ratio. Transparent PNGs are supported as well.

Line breaks

Line breaks seem to look different from inside the game compared to an external webbrowser. Some BB-Codes force single line breaks, then it doesn't matter how many empty lines you insert afterwards.

Number of characters

The number of characters is very limited when using the editor in game. The external editor doesn't seem to have a restriction.
If a post is written externally it is not possible to edit it from within the game.

Personal notes:

• There is/was a problem with extremely long threads that can crash the game but work for external browsers.
• The colors look very different when inside a quote.
• Most BB-Codes that are not interpreted by the ingame browser are written as plain text except unknown colors. They are displayed plain white without the tags.
• If the text of a topic is too long it disrupts the style of the thread in an external browser. However this doesn't change the design for the ingame browser.

Thank you so much Dregra and Nendra :)

If Nendra still reads this thing, would he/she mind reposting this(or letting me) as a new threat to be stickied here? It's really useful information that I keep losing...

Also, if it's not too much trouble, could the devs de-anal the size restriction on images here? It seems a bit excessive to me. Please share what they would be if it happens.

Danka.

I agree with Jayce, the size limit on images is a bit too restrictive. Would love to see it changed as well. 800x600 doesn't sound too big to me.
