In addition to the custom year stars code that sits half finished on my hard drive, I am considering adding a few more markup options.
One would be [tt]...[/tt] which would output the text in a typewriter like font, just like the <tt> tag in HTML. While not useful much of the time, it would be a trivial addition, and I would find it useful when explaining a simple line of code or something, something too small to warrant using the full blown code tags.
Aside: I would also like syntax highlighted code tags, but that is alot of work and I am not likley going to do it any time soon.
The other things are like you see in the Dummies book series: a block of text, similar to a quote tag, but can have different colors and rather than a Quote: label, it would have possibly an icon off to the side, again just like the Tip boxes in the Whatever for Dummies books.
I think that would be useful in the tutorials I am writing in C&G, and other people might find that useful too.
Lastly, I would like to eventually write a Calculus tutorial too, and that is something that would be significantly easier with a math markup reader, to display things like the integration and summation symbols. Such a mod already exists; all I would have to do is install it and possibly do some minor customizations. This was proposed over at SDN but it never went through, and I think it would be useful here at times too.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Do you think it will be worth the effort?
Considering a few more modifications to the board....

How about strikethrough tags? I've found phpBB's lack of them annoying several times.

They would be trivial to add, but they are something I never thought would be useful. However if you think they will be useful, I'll add them next time I open up the code.

Mayabird:You see what this place does to us? It's like how Eskimos have their 16 names for snow. We have to precisely define what shafting we're receiving.
"Do we think Israel would be nuts enough to go back into Lebanon with Olmert still in power and calling the shots? They could hook Sharon up to a heart monitor and interpret the blips and bleeps as "yes" and "no" and do better than that, both strategically and emotionally."

Yes, I already did that with the subSilver template. Just have to update the other templates to display it.

I did this about a month ago and mentioned it in the OOC forum, but forgot to mention it here.Rogue 9 wrote:How about strikethrough tags?
