Hide tags button?

Hide tags button?
Is there a hide tags button somewhere or do you really have to type out the code every time you want to hide something?

(And what does the PHP code button do?)

Just curious... Smile

No. Yes.

It's not terribly useful for non-programmers. It lets you quote PHP code and prettifies it.

PHP Code:
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>

Cool idea for a tag, though. Also, "imgresize", or whatever it is. I keep forgetting that one.

That would be "imgfit"

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

If you are using Chrome, you can install the extension "BBCodeInsert."

That extension allows you to right click and insert various tags, from [b], [i], to [quote], and even [url] with a prompt. It also includes the ability to add custom shortcuts. I have added the [hide] tag shortcut to mine. It's pretty easy.

Once you have the extension installed, you go to your extensions (Tools-->Extensions) Then go to BBCodeInsert Options. All you do from there is copy this code into the box, hit save, and you'll have some hide tags prepared by yours truly.

Code:
# Hide Tags with prompt
title:[hide]=prompt
template:![hide]{{p:$1}}[/hide]
prompt:Text to be hidden
#

# Hide Tags
title:[hide]
template:![hide][/hide]
#
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Has there been a lot of PHP quoting in the past or is that just a standard forum button? Thinking

That's the one I always forget.

Is there a way to resize an image to a particular percentage? Say, the image is 600x800 and you want it to appear at 50% in thread?

I think I've tried [img width=# height=#] or various plays on the theme from the days when I knew how to write html but I suspect that just won't work here...

Cool, I'll have to check that out... Thanks Big Grin

BTW, holy shit were the quote tags screwed up by the coding in these posts!! :p

It's a standard feature of the advanced editor.

I don't think there are any bbcode tags to resize images like that. Personally, I resize them before I upload if I can.

Couldn't get it to work?

Works just fine for me. Copy that exact code into the editor. I've got hide tags, spoiler tags, image tags, and YouTube video tags in my custom menu.
