Code and Pre tags

I just noticed that the Code tag has changed recently and all are nicely pre-formatted tables are busted. I started to dig into it but then quickly just created a Pre tag and put into the posting Button list. So if you ar trying copy a pre-formatted table in use Pre going forward.


ADDED: OK I fixed it mostly but you can see the difference in the results where PRE is very simple and Code is a more complex presentation. Use which ever you prefer.

Re: Code and Pre tags

Hey, Mike, I know this is somewhat off the topic, but... all of the mouse-over text for the custom buttons is gone. Or, rather, the mouse-over text is the same as the actual button name, which isn't terribly helpful.

Can we get the help text put back?

I think...
"C" is "Chaotic"
"D" is "Dialogue (normal)"
"L" is "Lawful"
"M" is... ???
"N" is "Neutral"
"ic" is "In Character"
"mono" is... ???
"oc" is "Out of Character"
"pre" is... ???
"s" is "Strike through"

Sorry, I've never used some of them and have no idea what they mean anymore...

Re: Code and Pre tags

Intersting... It the Admin panel "C" has this defined as the mouse over help: Chaotic, wicked, insideous

But clearly it doesn't appear which probably means the issue in the CA Vintage template. Sadly that template is not really maintained and I've had manually edit pieces of it to restore some of these features. I'll poke around and see if I can find that issue in the html.

-Mike

PS -

"M" is... ??? => Magic
"mono" is... ??? => Monospace font
"pre" is... ??? => Pre-formatted text

Re: Code and Pre tags

Awesomeness, thanks Mike.

I think I added those additional button configs way back when to support colourful dialog, light source indicators, and in/out of character in the Hinterlands games.

Amazed that you managed to get them going again!
