lanefu Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Legacy functionality -- bbcode support has been disabled. The current editor version has richer formatting support natively.. Disabling the bbcode formatting should improve editor performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRS-80 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 No not really. I just like to gripe whenever things are deprecated in favor of 'modern' alternatives, especially ones that surely use (proprietary?) JavaScript. But I have used it, most recently for the last release announcement. When trying to convert the result of HedgeDoc site (Markdown) into the forum, using bbcode was my approach. I almost got it to work. I am not aware of anything else that might even come close to being scriptable. My understanding (from brief research at that time) was that Invision themselves have deprecated it a long time ago already. So I am only ribbing you a bit, not really sure how feasible it is for us to keep it. But there is also, for example, bbcode-mode in Emacs. And I do use Edit With Emacs (FF plug-in) quite often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanefu Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Ha yeah it was extremely deprecated lol. I was in a "there has to be a markdown plugin" mode scouring the interweb and saw that. On that note I think I did toggle the plain text paste flag off. So copying rendered markdown into the editor may work. Anyway the editor seems to be a whole seperate body of work independent from Invision other than it'd what they use. Sounds like Invision actually has their own upgrading to do from "v4" to "v5" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-80 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 For your amusement, I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Bjarne Stroustrup, which I serendipitously came across (again) just yesterday: Quote Legacy code often differs from its suggested alternative by actually working and scaling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
