Tip of the Day - NOPARSE

[mirfield]

I often see people posting examples of BBCode when trying to help somebody, but adding spaces and other stuff so that the text displays instead of doing whatever the BBCode is supposed to do.

Allow me to introduce you to the NOPARSE BBCode.

Inserting something between [NOPARSE] and [/NOPARSE] means that any BBCode within will not be processed.

So if you want to show someone, for example, how to use strikeout, then you could type

[NOPARSE]Just type [s]Blah blah[/s] to display[/NOPARSE] [s]Blah blah[/s].

This would display

Just type [s]Blah blah[/s] to display Blah blah.


Using it to display [NOPARSE] and [/NOPARSE] gets a bit long winded

Personally I think blah blah is more striking (through). but again.. that's a lot of extra typing

Clicking on your post reveals the black magic involved

Hands up those who read the word without the "p"

I have just about mastered strikethrough but haven't got a clue what [noparse] is, or BB whatever, come to that
