New Code

[Dean]

For all I know, Prolescum has already mentioned this to Cosmic Spork, since we were discussing this issue in chat. So here's a thought:

Instead of ME having to go ^3/^2 or whatever every time we are talking about "to the power", or e.g. writing chemical symbols, as I sometimes do, we really should have some subscript and superscript BBCode to add to the Text Editor Menu, and I know it's possible, because almost all other forums using BBCode seem to have this function.

Something like:

[sub][insert subscripted text here][/sub]

and:

[sup][insert superscripted text here][/sup]

It would be especially useful for a forum such as the League Of Reason's, where one of the main themes is scientific inquiry, e.g. it may occasionally require one to use superscript (as in mathematics) and also subscript (as in chemistry). I don't think it's ... that unreasonable.

However, this is only my view. Opinions?

I thumbs up this suggestion.

Adding this would be trivial on a default installation of this board's software, however spork will likely have to account for many factors first, foremost being whether it would interfere with any prior customizations in layout and the such.

YESSS!

Now we I can write squared and cubed properly when using maths, and we can write CO[sub]2[/sub] correctly when discussing climate and environmental science. Bravo, Sporky.
