As our messages toolbar doesn't appear in all browsers, there is a standalone WYSIWYG
What You See Is What You Geteditor that you can use instead
HERE.
To use it, just type into the message box in the same way that you used to here at WGT. I think all the icons we had are there, plus a few more, but not the video icon.
Posting videos can be done this way...
[view:***video URL goes here***:444]
This can be typed (don't copy and paste the above) straight into your message.
The 444 value can be changed to adjust the video size, but 444 fills the forum width nicely. A value of about 240 is a good size for wall posts and 550 is about the most you can squeeze into a blog post.
When you have finished your message, click the HTML button (underneath the Paragraph box) to open the HTML source window, copy
everything in the HTML source window, then paste it into your message box here.
If you need to edit one of your posts here at WGT, do the following...
- Click the edit button at the bottom of your post.
- Copy everything in the edit message window.
- Go to the standalone WYSIWYG editor and click the HTML button to open the HTML source editor window.
- Paste in your copied WGT post then click UPDATE at the bottom of the HTML source editor.
- You'll now see your post in the WYSIWYG editor where you can edit it.
- Once edited, click the HTML button again and copy everything in the HTML window.
- Then paste it back into your message at WGT.
- Done!
25th Oct 2017:
If you don't want to use the standalone WYSIWYG editor. You could try starting your post with this...
<p style="white-space:pre-wrap">
...after that, type out your message as usual. There's no need to put in any funny HTML stuff as you can make new lines or new paragraphs by hitting enter once or twice, and you can put spaces in as you would before, by hitting the spacebar. This formatting will all be preserved when you post your message, so make sure you end your post with the closing </p> tag, not forgetting the forward slash in it.
Aha! Even tables work, how about that. : )
