Suggestion: Inline code BBCode

[Alexander Nicholi]

It'd be nice to have that for the development-centric forums (the Computers and Technology place and also ROM hacking), like Stack Overflow implements with backticks.

Since [code][/code] is used for codeblocks, I'd suggest [tt][/tt] as derived from the old HTML <tt></tt> tag. IIRC the Bulbapedia website uses <tt></tt> for inline code... it's certainly better than [font=Monospace][/font]. A translucent background could be added too, possibly?

<tt> isn't supported by HTML 5. Or do you mean to code some alternative version independent of such tags? (Also a visual example might come in handy since I may not be the only one struggling to follow you here)

<tt></tt> is used on some sites to make your font look like this so I believe that is what he means? rather than having to put in that you can simply put [tt][/tt] and it'll change your font to monochrome (or any such variations. I believe courier new is one that is similar that <tt></tt> changes your font to on sites such as dreamwidth).

Yeah, I mean I'm not saying there be a physical <tt> tag, but that be the name of the BBCode for ease of memory and typing. It could be a CSS class or whatever in actuality.

I implemented a translucent rgba() background on my website and thought it looked nice, so I suggested that too as an alternative to the opaque grey they use on Stack Overflow.

Anything new with this, perhaps? It's been a little bit, and I remembered as I ran into yet another opportunity to use these tags.

Give Audy (or maybe another admin) a poke just in case they're not aware of this thread or forgot about it
