Dear BBCODE Masters

Why do people hate BBCODE so much?

And on the flipside, why does /prog/ love it so much?

They are wrong and we are right.

Nobody hates BBCODE. You renounce personhood by claiming to dislike it.

Because it's just HTML with uglier tags.

Because /prog is a bunch of retards jumping on the bandwagon.

Because ordinary programmers are too lazy and stupid to master BBCode and due to the Blub paradox[sup][1][sub] don't even know what they are missing.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think
“I know, I'll start breathing manually.”   Now they have two problems.

[tag] is uglier than <tag> ?

They're essentially the same thing, you know this, right?

You're like one of these people who would see nothing wrong with throwing your whole meal into a blender before eating it since it's essentially the same thing.

That analogy makes no sense because (a) you're talking about aesthetics and (b) no self-respecting programmer would leave < > un-escaped. Not to mention, you can make up your own BBCODE tags such as the spoiler tag. Instead of creating a huge mess with HTML. I suppose you could do the same with escaped HTML, but then you've completely missed the point of allowing HTML tags in the first place.

Yeah, it is. The only upside of using something else than sanitized HTML is that you can do [spoiler] and not <span style="..."> or <span class="spoiler">.

What the FUCK are you two talking about? It's like you're both deaf but talking anyway, like two old ladies. You're both talking about two different things. Learn to comprehend or stop being such ignorant pricks.

The only upside of using something else than sanitized HTML is that ...
99% of forums only need Markdown support. Just use fucking Markdown instead of retarded tag based schemes.

[, unlike <, can be typed with only one key on a standard keyboard. It also preserves screen real estate when displayed in a proportional font.

(1) Why not use ``|'' if you're that bothered about screen real estate. (2) Who the fuck uses proportional fonts to write code?

On the other hand, nobody uses proportional fonts, and < can be typed with only one key, unlike [, on most keyboard layouts, rather than just the one you arrogantly consider ``standard''.

ad. 1 | doesnt differentiate between the opening and closing character

most computers run operating systems that allow you to change the keyboard layout without having to use a different keyboard.
any keyboard layout = all keyboards

ad. ad. 1 You aren't going to nest tags in tags anyway, right? So there's no problem.

Yeah, I should've s/something else/BBCode rather/. I'm all for markdown and stuff like that, makes you type less characters.

Do you think the quality of /prog/ would improve if Shiichan never implemented BBCODE and it was only markdown?

Name: Anonymous 2010-05-21 22:33

Markdown was created on a Mac.
So no.
