Just a thought..
Has anyone thought of allowing UBBCode to be implemented in postings in the Forum(s)? Several other vendor support sites have implemented it and it works quite nicely. I'm going to try it myself here…

We'll see.

Ray,
It stands for Ultimate Bulletin Board Codes. Essentially it's a simplified HTML for non-programmers to enhance their text within message boards. It appears that Lotus Domino doesn't support it based on Don's message output.

Try putting the HTML angle brackets around your codes inside the square brackets.
Bold and Italics
Put the following into square brackets
info@revelation.com
To get
info@revelation.com
test for case sensitivity (inside the angle brackets there are little i )
Italics/i Warning, putting single apostrophes into your href labels ruins the link form. I also found if you just cut and paste the HTTP link straight in, that IE (or lotus?) now makes a valid link out of it. eg http://www.revelation.com/WebSite/vipweb.nsf/?OpenAbout Of course I have found a large number of ways of getting this stuff not quite right. It will be interesting to see how much of this post worked.

What if we initially type our postings in Word? Some of us already do; I do it for all but the short ones. And then have some neat macros to convert to the Revelation/Domino format? And then copy the result and paste to the web? The source format could either be UBBCODE (which I don't really know), or a select subset of the Word format (like italics, bold and fonts). About getting things wrong: HTML tables can be difficult. And how do you de HTML entities?

UBBCODE is much less error prone when typing than HTML. FYI here are some of the things that UBBCODE can do: 1. URL Hyperlinking: Simply type a link in the form http://www.yourURL.com or www.yourURL.com. You can use either the complete http address or shorten it to the domain. If the site doesn't begin with http then you must use the complete address. You can also have true hyperlinks using the url code with the following format: url=http://www.infopop.cominfopop.com/url. You can also use urlwww.infopop.com/url. One of the advantages of UBBCODE here is that the link is opened as a new window when the user clicks on it. You can't use quote marks inside the URL tag. 2. E-Mail links: emailinfo@infopop.com/email 3. Bold & italic were mentioned earlier 4. Bullets/lists or ordered lists by number or letter. For example: list * This is the first item * This is the second item /list produces a bulleted list. Note the closing /list. To make an ordered list, just add either list=A or list=1 will produce list starting with A or starting with 1 5. Adding images: just prefix the link with imgthe.url.pointer/img 6. Quoting other messages. Use normal cut-and-paste but prefix the quote with QUOTEthis is the quoted stuff/QUOTE 7. Code tag to preserve formatting: CODE#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" print "Hello World!";/CODE The only note is that you can't use both HTML and UBBCODE to do the same function. Note that UBBCODE is not case sensitive. Also, don't put spaces after or before the UBBCODES. url www.infopop.com /url will fail. Also UBBCODE also has shortcuts for common items like Smileys and the like. It's pretty cool and saves a lot of work and frustration for me. Oh .. well .. back to Domino.
