Flaws in the BBCode 1.0 specification

Name: Anonymous 2008-05-23 23:47

I have noticed that people use [sub] where something like [small] was meant. The Shiichan implementation of BBCode 1.0 doesn't cover [small], which is kind of annoying.

We should design the 1.1 specs, since this effort looks like abandoned[1]. Post all your proposals here. Particularly, IIRC, someone requested some LISP-like features. A formal description of such improvement would be nice.

Why oh why does lisp seem so much better?
(lambda (expert x) (u (i (b (o x)))))
(expert 'EXPERT 'PROGRAMMER)

This can't be interpreted at server side, so imagine a javascript interpreter that translates your lispus to whatever format shii-chan finds friendly.

Actually, yes. That's what anon should do. Write a lisp-to-bbcode javascript interpreter that provides all the tags as functions:
b, u, i, o, etc
and lambda. That would be so awesome. Then we get moot to use it, in all boards or just /prog/. Or we use a de facto greasemonkey script.
I'd do it but I absolutely hate javascript.
