AskWoody PlusForum Alphabetical Order bbCode List
A forum alphabetical bbCode list is provided here. These are codes that work in this forum; I have omitted those that don’t work in this forum.
- This introductory post provides a little information.
- The subsequent post will show the code.
- The last post will show the implemented code.
bbCode is not forgiving. Open a text editor, create your bbCode, and copy the code into forum edit box. There are many — nay, thousands of — ways to botch the code.

AskWoody PlusAddendum:
I’ve had mixed results when using working bbCode (the ones shown in this topic) with the edit tags in this forum. It probably works best not to embed bbCode into html or html into bbCode.On Hiatus {with backup and coffee}

Managerhtml isn’t part of the text editor software, which is why the box above the text editor says:
You can use BBCodes to format your content.
Your account can’t use Advanced BBCodes, they will be stripped before saving.html is limited due to security concerns, as I have understood it.

AskWoody LoungerWhen you click on Quote these BBCodes are placed in your text. For example:
[postquote quote=212920][/postquote]
If you wish to place a break in a line without starting a new paragraph use shift-return. Here are three words entered using shift-return to separate them:
First
middle
last.You can also use
[br]
Colors can also be specified using #RRGGBB with a pair of hex digits indicating the value of 0 to 255 for each of the primary colors red, green and blue. In my signature I am using:

AskWoody PlusDoes any know of a good site to test out BBCode? I have been having difficulty matching up ol’s and li’s to get the kind of organization that you see below in a reply that I wanted to make. (Using BBCode to get this organization has the advantage of using smaller font, creating identation, and not taking up so much space, all of which you see here.)
Ordered List
1. Fruit
depends on the availability
a. Apples
i. Macintosh
ii. Honey Crisp
b. Oranges
i. Navel
ii. Mandarin
2. Vegetables
a. Celery
b. Brussels SproutsI used the AskWoody Testing Forum, and I finally figured it out, but not before I got a PM that I had messed up the site. Not sure why, because I wasn’t using any html.
The Testing Forum also has the disadvantage of allowing only a few edits before the message becomes (temporarily) permanent. And then, you have to create a new message, starting off where you left off in the previous one, if you can remember what you did with the ol’s and the li’s that didn’t work and what you could trying changing.
If I were to use BBCode, it would look like this:
- Ordered List
- Fruit
- Apples
depends on what is available- Macintosh
- Honey Crisp
- Oranges
- Navel
- Mandarin
- Apples
- Vegetables
- Celery
- Zucchini

AskWoody PlusDon’t manually adjust the tags, that is why it messes up.
For the reason you gave here, that means you have to have it right in the first place, i.e., you can’t do any adjustments to the tags when editing a post.
That must have been why, in the Testing Forum, I messed up the site, because I DID manually adjust tags when I edited.
If the tags need adjusting (say for example, to get what you want, it should be li instead of ol (I am not using angle brackets around these because I think that’s an illegal character outside of BBCode), then if you can’t manually adjust, then what do you do?
I am asking for a site where one can create and adjust the tags to get things right before posting on AskWoody.
And I am talking about only the few tags that are in the message-box header, not anything esoteric. The example, using Fruits and Vegetables, to show the organization (1’s and 2’s, a’s and b’s, I’s and II’s all in the right place horizontally and vertically can be achieved in the AW message box with AW-permitted BBCode. You just have to know where to put the initial ol’s and li’s and the ending ol’s and li’s to effect it.

AskWoody MVPthen if you can’t manually adjust, then what do you do?
Highlight, unlist, highlight, relist.
More importantly, stick to basic lists so you don’t have to muck around with your post.

AskWoody LoungerThis forum sadly lacks the ability to preview a post before it goes live/being submitted.
Re BBCode – different forum software(s) allow different modules/plugins to be used to ‘enhance’ a users experience.
Not all administrators implement this enhancement (if the software allows) for their own reasons.
Their game – their rules!
What works in one forum, may not work in another.On a personal preference – vBulletin software takes some beating with the options available and to implement.
Often money & time is a factor and downtime/knowledge of a smooth transition to a different forum platform is required. If it’s not done right, forums can be down for an unacceptable length of time.
If revenue is collected via advertising, then some may say the risk is too great to change.-

ManagerThese points have been raised before 🙂

See Woody’s comment here on why he chose not to use vBulletin.
Advertising has been tried and removed – results were not worth the reputational damage, and too many poor sites were fed through the system.

Advertising has been tried and removed – results were not worth the reputational damage, and too many poor sites were fed through the system.
. . . I wasn’t referring to this website forum when I mentioned advertising. Other forums rely heavily on advertising for revenue and the admin/owners often don’t want to risk a major upheaval, eg: change of software for fear of issues & downtime. Downtime loses them money.
I think one of the main reasons why forums, whatever software they use, have problems is because they have far too many forums, within forums, within forums.
Look how many this forum has!
You just have to look in the Windows forums and see what users are confronted with.

AskWoody PlusAs anyone looking at the numbers under my generic icon can see, I have posted, so far, more than a few comments and have never had a problem reviewing and editing their contents for corrections and changes, whenever I have seen this as necessary after posting and then reading in the “published” format what I wrote, during the time available for editing, which I find to be plenty enough. Or posting lists, even those I have copied from somewhere else, after editing out all obtrusive html strings, when necessary, as well as inserting URL links using the tool for doing that in the tools bar on top of the space where one enters the comments.
And I find the way this site is organized clearly in different sections containing related forums is quite easy to navigate and the “search” tool under one’s icon and login space at the top of the right side bar is a useful thing for finding something one does not remember where it was posted.
So I am puzzled by some comments made here. What I might be missing here?

you might not be an initiate in using or finding lists from somewhere else or in knowing what is obtrusive to edit out.

ManagerMay I graciously ask that everyone just uses the editing codes on the toolbar? In the meantime I will look for a better editor for the site that will allow more features. Sometimes less is better.
Clearly complicated html and this site doesn’t go together 🙂
Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Managerask that everyone just uses the editing codes on the toolbar
That would be the toggle buttons on the text editor boxes, in both the Visual and Text modes (not part of a “specific toolbar”).
However, as seen in recent days, even using those toggles without precision can result in site disturbances 🙂
