BBCode Wishlist

[muntoo]

Hey administrators, look at this.

If you have any wishes for BBCodes, please post them here!

[muntoo]

One of the wishes is to add support for custom code tags, like "

Code: Select all

".
I have suggested possible ways to attain this HERE.

There is a way for us to add new BBCodes but there is no way for us to add new addons or mods that allow syntax highlighting the way that some of those really nice plugins can.

can we add support for displaying math formulas?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula

e.g. space inserted between "[" and ";"

Code: Select all

 //space inserted between "[" and ";"
[ ;\frac{d}{dx}x^2 = 2 \cdot x;]
[ ;\sum;]
[ ;x^2;]
[ ;\prod_{i=1}^k p_i = p_1 \cdot p_2 \cdot p_3 ... \cdot p_i;]
[ ;\frac{x^5+9} {\sqrt[n-2]{y^5+74}};]

[;\frac{d}{dx}x^2 = 2 \cdot x;]
[;\sum;]
[;x^2;]
[;\prod_{i=1}^k p_i = p_1 \cdot p_2 \cdot p_3 ... \cdot p_i;]
[;\frac{x^5+9} {\sqrt[n-2]{y^5+74}};]

If you make it work then I'm happy to add it. This looks like a lot of work, tbh.

I have no idea how to do it on the forum (in the administration control panel)

- the FF client approach by Greasemonkey works though
install this FF addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/748

activate it by this java script: http://thewe.net/tex/textheworld6.user.js

[;\frac{d}{dx}x^2 = 2 \cdot x;]

ps:
I found this - a script and a plotter: http://www.matheboard.de/thread.php?threadid=17175

does anybody know how to define a BBcode for this, e.g.
[;\prod_{i=1}^k p_i = p_1 \cdot p_2 \cdot p_3 ... \cdot p_i;] =>

I think you must

Code: Select all

[math]{IDENTIFIER}[/math]

replace with

Code: Select all

(In BB-Codes Admin-Control Panel)
<img src="http://www.matheboard.de/latex2png/late ... cdot%20p_i" alt="Formel">

Code: Select all

I am not sure they will appreciate this. Unless they actually permit it, you are stealing bandwidth and server resources.

naaah - what do you mean by
"stealing bandwidth and server resources" ?!?
we are looking for a way to implement LaTex - have you got a better idea?!?
