LukasPJ Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 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.

buckmaster Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Wow, we can write `inline code`! This is pretty _cool_. [linky](http://google.com) And BBcode still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRON Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 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.

buckmaster Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffH Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasPJ Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 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*.

andrewmac Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 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.
