More Em Tags...?

Post by Abelius »

Hi Tony,

I was wondering if there's some way to add more Em Tags to the Database? I'm using all four of them to color-code responses and I'd like to have several more...

Yeah, I know I'm a greedy bastard. :lol:

Thanks.

Hi,

The limit is 4 to maintain compatibility with Chat Mapper.

I can look into supporting an arbitrary number of [em] tags, but any past 4 would be long when converting to/from Chat Mapper (for those using Chat Mapper).

In the meantime, can you get by with rich text <color> codes?

Ah, so it's some kind of compatibility compromise...

Well, if you could add more, as an optional feature, that would be nice. :P

Thing is, I thought of using markup codes as you suggest and I'll probably end up doing that for now, yes. But if I use an Em Tag instead, I could change the formatting of all of those responses just by changing that tag's settings which is far more convenient.

Thank you anyway. I'll do as you say while you consider if adding more is possible. ;)

Additional [em] tags won't make it into the upcoming version 1.7.7, but I should be able to get them into the next version.
