[BUG] Innacurate preview

ploki122··1 votes·1,956 views

If you move text around (drag&drop), the preview doesn't follow.

Repro steps :

  1. write something down
  2. move the text around
  3. the preview isn't updated.

Also, I believe that we should be able to create a list with line breaks instead of paragraph breaks.

AKA

Title :' '' '

  1. list item
  2. list item

Instead of : Title :
' '
' '

  1. line item
  2. line item

Oh and to pinpoint further for the "small emphasis" thing, apparently it's css-side(jsut sayin' but typing *css-side* in this case repro'd the bug for preview and not post), since the html only showed <em>TEXTGOESHERE</em>

While we're at it, can you guys either parse markdown in previews or completely remove it?

I mean the preview when you hover the thread with your mouse (aka <title>).

We'll be improving the hover preview over time. The current version is simply using the browser's built in treatment of title attributes (plain text only) as a stop gap solution.

All good, also now that I'm digging into that, are there any plans for better preview? (I know there were 2-3 ideas floating around, also an auto-scroll would be really dandy since the overflow scrolls.

Are you referring to the live preview on comments?

What is it not doing currently that you need it to do?

Since I have trouble putting thoughts into words when it's that technical, so i'll talk to you in css. Once you hit that max-height, the text start getting hidden (AKA overflow-y:scroll). however, as you continue typing, that scroll bar doesn't move, meaning that you have to manually scroll down evrytime yo uwanna make sure that your formatting is ok.

This shouldn't affect a lot of players since it only shows during wall of texts, but if you discuss a bit with Pendragon/IronStylus (and iirc Krylos made a few for Markdown too), they may have encountered the same hassle once or twice. Or just write a wall of text for the heck of it. :P

Otherwise, I would have to look back for other ideas that were suggested, but the question was rather : Are there any front-end changes planned for preview in a relatively near future, except for the WYSIWYG editor?

Ahh, ok I see what you mean. Yes auto-scrolling the preview would be useful. We don't have any near-term plans for live preview (other than probably adding a show/hide option), but I'll check with Krylhos and company to see how much work that scrolling feature would be.

Thanks for the input ploki :)

Max indeting level, replying to this one.

Basically, np. Not using the tools you give us would be pretty stupid ><.

So thanks for the output moltov.
