By jove, I think I've got it

ubb_lib is this:

$_[0] =~ s/n?r?([*])(.+?)([/*])/<li>$2</li>/isg;

and lib_posting is this:

$_[0] =~ s/(<li>)(.+?)(</li>)/[*]$2[/*]/isg;

It creates lists correctly and validates...

This works if you aren't making a full list

[*] test

Posting practices have to change to close the [ *] tag now with a [ /*] tag (no spaces)

Just when I got my other (and better) idea to work? <img src="wink.gif" border="0" alt="" />

[code][/code]And use only [ *]

<font color="#000000" size="1">[ 12-10-2001 02:48 PM: Message edited by: LK ]</font>

I'm all for better ideas <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />

This goes in ubb_lib, what about lib_posting where it is supposed to convert html back to ubb code?

I think your old code is gonna work...

which old code?

<img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />

right now it's breaking on edit... lemme see if I can pull the stuff out

Actually it won't work with your old code, but you can try:

$_[0] =~ s/(<li>)(.+?)(</li>)/[*]$2/isg;

All others are like the original UBB's ones...

<font color="#000000" size="1">[ 12-10-2001 03:14 PM: Message edited by: LK ]</font>

Done!

This is what I had to do to get font tags in there too so it would validate:

ubb_lib


I should probably finish the font stuff for the ol, but this works and validates Thanks LK, and thanks MJ!

And won't it become the default font again?

• test
• test #2

Oh, you have it as the default font of body...

<font color="#000000" size="1">[ 12-10-2001 03:36 PM: Message edited by: LK ]</font>

eh?

what won't?

you gotta close the font tags before starting the list and re-open them after the list is done...

It was a one-time thing <img src="wink.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Good job

my brain is tired <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />

So what happens with an ordered list?

A, B, C ....

1, 2, 3 ....

Click that validate link Bay-Bay!

Except for the ad code (can't do anything about it) every page produced from here on out should validate.

We don't have to worry about that because all the lists generated by the UBB are unordered lists <ul>. <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Or are they? <img src="confused.gif" border="0" alt="" />

You can choose to make an order list:

[ list=1] for numeric lists

[ list=a] for alpha lists

Thanks, never knew that before!
