if some formatting does not work, play with the order. (e.g. color always deepest level. bold always most outta level. )

@*B12345 becomes a battle link: B12345 2 on Tangerine

Also, here's a pro tip:

[*quote]text containing a
newline[/quote]

becomes

quote: text containing a newline

:(

submitted patch to replace "quote" operation for text which include linebreaks.

someone enable patch ;) http://code.google.com/p/zero-k/issues/detail?id=1650

Very well. I stickied it.

commenting so I can find this
I always forget where this is
even though its stickied now, I'll lose it
I'm that good

also this:

[*quote=@201951]quoted text[/quote]

would be nice

TheSponge please read the second line of the first post in this topic (red, large). then hf and bless us with some! :D

thank you!

I wonder if it would be polite if i changed it myself.

For reference, the right way is:
// format the size tags: [*color=transparent]your invisible text[/color]
// becomes: your invisible text.

And not that #102020 nonsense!

@anarchid, as long as you dont error the post, knock yourself out ;). makes me unresponsible for a guideline to troll if you do it.
