To Embed a Youtube Video
Lets say you want to embed this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH0BQtwEAsM
notice that on the end, there's a variable v="DH0BQtwEAsM". take that value, and put it in between two [youtube][/youtube] brackets. So this bbcode:
[youtube[/b]]DH0BQtwEAsM[/youtube[b]]
creates this:
How to add syntax highlighting to code snippets
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=161402&b=2
do this by adding an attribute to the [code
[/b]][/code[b]] tags. So, if you wanted to highlight dbpro code, then you would say:
[code lang=dbp[/b]]
CODE HERE
[/code[b]]
If you wanted to highlight some C++ code, then you would change that argument to "c".
[code lang=c[/b]]
int a=1; int pa=&a;
[/code[b]]
Why some links don't work
Someone recently had trouble embedding this link:
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/11719414/Apple-iPod-Shuffle-4GB-Pink/Product.html?_%24ja=tsid:11518|cat:11719414|prd:11719414
The issue there is the %24 sign. that's an html character code. if we look at
this site, one can see that "%24" (it's hex, not decimal) is the $ sign. So if we change the link to this:
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/11719414/Apple-iPod-Shuffle-4GB-Pink/Product.html?_$ja=tsid:11518|cat:11719414|prd:11719414
then it embeds fine:
[edit] hah spoke too soon. hmmmm.... well that's USUALLY the problem.[/edit]
...just sayin'
Why does blue text appear every time you are near?
