I usually think of it as ``slash-sup'' to be honest. When you think about it, however, open and close bbcode and html tags are, in a way, extensions to our bracket system. Take this, for example:
int main (void)
{
/*code goes here*/
return 0;
}
pronounced:
int main open-paren void close-paren
open-curly
/*code goes here*/
return 0;
close-curly
We can now begin to look at our bbcodes in a new fashion: [i]
I
[/i]
am an
[b]
[i]
[o]
[u]
EXPERT BBCODE PROGRAMMER
[/u]
[/o]
[/i]
[/b]
When you start to think of bbcode like this, you begin to realize that it is most logical to name our bbcode ``brackets'' in a manner similar to regular brackets. Therefore, the best way for one to pronounce the previous section would be:
open-italics
I
close-italics
am an
open-bold
open-italics
open-overline
open-underline
EXPERT BBCODE PROGRAMMER
close-underline
close-overline
close-italics
close-bold
I will attempt to adopt this new naming scheme, and I would advise my fellow /prog/riders to do the same.
