Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
Lol, anyone who psts everything like that deserves to be banned.
No comment from Rickard yet? Guess it's not something he wants to do.
Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
It's annoying when you have to type yourself BBcode ... but with my request made by Rickard (easy bbcode) ... all people can do code easily

No, really, why trying to have a complete html replacement?
Would be easier to actually allow at least some HTML tags than having to learn a complete new markup language
I really agree with that.
One thing that lacked when i switched to PunBB was the ability to define a coma separated list of allowed HTML tags (like abbr, acronym, or whatever...).
I really found it usefull...
It's not that hard to implement, though.
Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
Ah well. I guess I'll look in to this plugin.
Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
I use PHP Markdown very extensively (especially for mail) on the company's intranet, and am looking for an in-company forum platform to exchange information and text snippets that could be reintegrated into e-mail. Until now I am using PunBB but failing for what regards the mails.
So I would be very, very happy if PunBB supported Markdown syntax.
(and yes, we have a policy of firing without questions people who abuse cheesy styles)
Is there a project to support PHP Markdown, or even PHP MarkDown Extra in PunBB?

Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
I think it could be done as a plugin in 1.3.
Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
I have made my own experimentations with Markdown, and was stopped mainly by the implementation of the skins.
The other thing that stopped me was the way to implement the footnotes (That's PHP-MarkDown-Extra): they should be localized strictly to the context of each message, as you may have the same references in several messages on the same topic.
If that is coming true in 1.3, Allelouia.

Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
Just out of curiosity... Has there been any consideration of making PunBB's BBCode implementation into an extension for 1.3 (and still using it by default)?

Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
I agree: it would make sense logically, for all coding implementations could be turned into extensions, with one by default.

Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
BBcode is still, unfortunately, the basic for a vast majority of user.
Beside, most of the user of other markup language or typographic helper (Textile, Markdown, etc.) already have a board under BBcode that will need conversion of some kind.
So, it's pretty much plugins... and people to write them.
Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
Being a textpattern and Basecamp user, I would also vastly prefer Textile. I even use it in my own web applications for markup entry and had to create an ASP class to support it since textile support is missing from VB Script Active Server Pages.

Someone could make a conversion extension.
Re: I think Textile should replace BBcode
It's still pretty cool what you can do with BBCode. Check out what one of my users post:
