I can change the forums to use Markdown instead of BBCode. There are a lot of pros and cons, but you can probably find them online.


In the end, I believe it comes down to a religious debate. I can also look at making it possible to use both, but if the community is heavily leaning towards one, it might not be worth the trouble :)


Edit: Also first poll test.


Edit edit: Stopped the poll because MarkDown will now work in cooperation with BBCodes, as best as possible.

I prefer BBCode myself. However that doesn't stop you from giving an [markdown][/markdown] BBCode option to work with or might be a plugin/mod for phpBB to allow the user to specify the mode of their post.

Having a [markdown] tag would kind of defeat the point of it being quick and easy to use. Here TRON, try this out: `` `code` ``.


EDIT: Having BBCode around is good for cross-posting on the GG forums.

I agree with TRON, I myself prefer BBCode over Markdown (Ask luis how many times he had to yell at me for incorrectly posting markdown on issues XD)

I'm trying to implement both atm actually, I think BBCode will have precedence so if there is any clash, Markdown will be the one who suffers, but atm it works *pretty fine*.

Oh hey, it worked! It just messes up if the list is the first thing in the post, because leading spaces get trimmed.

I'll be honest, I don't really care. As long as there's a formatting popup window to give me hints on how to format, then BBCode or Markdown makes no difference to me. So, with that said, I should mention that the "BBCode" link down the bottom should target _new or _blank or whatever it is, rather than using the current window and potentially losing what you've typed in your post so far.

Good catch, I'll get that fixed asap.
