Easy come, easy go
by Jean du Plessis
After asking readers what they think of the comment text editor (Should it stay, or should it go?), speaking to a few tech people and looking at other blogs we came to the conclusion that it has gotta go.
I can just hear the blog purists screaming "Horraaaai" after reading that line, but all is not lost for those who want to make use of bold and italic text.
Enter the new GottaQuirk comment editor... It allows you to use bold, italics and links as well as automatically inserting line breaks for you.
So how does it work?
For those of you who are familiar with wiki markup this will come as second nature and for those who aren't it will soon.
- To bold text simply wrap it with two ** like this: **make this text bold**.
- To italicise text wrap it with two // like this: //make this text italic//.
- To create a link just wrap it with two __ (it might look like one underscore, but it is actually two) like this: __www.gottaquirk.com__ (you don’t need to add the http:// as it will automatically be added to the url for you).
- Last but not, line breaks will be automatically inserted when you press enter to make a gap or go to the next line.
To help you a little guide box will appear next to the comment editor to remind you of the markup to use.
As always please let us know what you think of the new comment editor and feel free to play around with it on this post to test how it works.
