Over at the Dreams in Vana'diel forums I noticed that above the message box, where you insert your reply to a thread, not only were there the usual b, i and u buttons - which allows you to simply highlight the desired text you wish to alter then click a button to initiate the effect - but there was also one which looked like the following:

[qu]

The enables the user to highlight the desired text and, once the button is clicked, [quote] tags are wrapped around it.

I think these four buttons, especially the last one, are particularly useful. I mean, I know that it's simple to just insert the markup tags manually, but some people still find it too much work to bother.

Plus they look neat.

Yes, our current markups are very useful for many things. :)
But the other thing you described would be a nice feature.

Yeah, I've seen this in other forums. I think its a phpBB thing, but I'm not sure. It's pretty useful. The quotes on most forums are different, but I like this quote system best actually.

It would be a nice feature.

How hard is it to look to the right?

No really... I'm asking.

I'm praying we never get that lazy to have to bother with buttons like those.

Judging by the amount of threads about it...
it takes nothing less than a 1337 haxxor to use.

Maybe there could be a link on the list of text markup tags on the right. When you clicked one it would drop in the formatting tags for you. You could have a wizard too. You could click the link tag on the right and it would pop up a dialogue box asking what you wanted to link to and what you wanted the text to be.

Markup tags are easy, AFAIK, this forum system contains them all, font size, colour, font and code, but all of these have been removed due to the fact they'd be abused here.

What forum system was this hilight tag from, it's not in phpbb.

I used to have to look at the small box at the right of the screen if I was going to use text markups in my post. I have them all memorized now :)
