I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Posted by: dazarobboThat does it. I am inventing a brand new language that doesn't require punctuation or proper spacing just for this site. I will call it "Bungieisbestese".

Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I have read that top paragraph of OP's post before, almost word for word...

I do agree with it though, I can make much more ACII art with that.

It will certainly take time to get used to though, I normaly always ignore it here and am sure to make several slip-ups in the transition.

I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.

You do know this could be done with the use of alt codes, correct?  See?  Just use two alt 255's in order to do it.

Wait. It doesn't work when I tried it in preview. Wat?

EDIT: Strange that copying it doesn't work.

The thing about that alt code is that you can't copy it.

You ever seen a triforce thread on 4chan? That is how they find out who tried to copy and paste it.

Small Community, Lots of Fun. We do Halo, Minecraft, and much more.

I was taught in elementary school to double space. Then in middle school I was told that was the way of the past. Now I only single space after sentences.

When he was younger, he was the one who always had the jokes and riddles that would keep the spirits of the Spartans high. Over the years however, his lifetime of combat had hardened him, as it had all of the Spartans. Within Will, John thought, something special had been lost.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but doesn't html have an element called <pre> that preserves just this kind of formatting? I too use double spaces. I am indifferent to paragraph indentation, but it seems like an easy thing to accomplish all of it. It would just display exactly as the user typed it, errors and all.

I imagine the current formatting in forum posts does indeed use <p></p>. Just make it display exactly as typed. Just make all the "<p>"s into "<pre>"s. It's not like B.net would have to parse whats a sentence and what's not. Just switch out all of the <p> fields that get populated by user submitted text with <pre> tags instead.

It's to do with HTML formatting and specifications. Double spaces aren't valid HTML.

link for reference
Excessive whitespace doesn't invalidate a HTML document, browsers just truncate it down to a single space (ASCII 0x20).

That being said, if you wanted double spacing, it would need to be controlled with extra markup, like non-breaking spaces or wrapped sentences (ie. span tags). But then, you run into all sorts of problems.

If you use a regex to add in a nbsp, how do you identify it? Is it "\. {2}"? Maybe "\. {2,}\S"?

If you try to identify sentences... what is a sentence? Where do they begin and end? Remember you're dealing with user-generated content here; it's not always going to be correct.

Key

Double  space  all  the
way  across  the  skyyyyyyy!!!

Also, does anyone know why at some points in the line, alt codes and other forms of non-letter characters become code with amprisands rather than the symbols themselves?

Forexample:

Double  space  all  the &# 160;

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Well I think this could work since it's such a small change.

I'm unsure as to why the site cannot handle consecutive use of alt codes, however, I do know that you can use something like bold in order to prevent it from happening.

How about also being able to indent our paragraphs? It is proper English, after all.

I've just stopped indenting since i've started posting here.

I do the double space also but I've never noticed how it changes it when you post. I just noticed it now since you pointed it out.......Now every time I do it, it will bug me >:/ you bass player.

For me, this is an unimportant detail that Bungie doesn't have the time to deal with. On internet a lot of people doesn't give much time to write properly, it would be a waste of time and resources just for a small quantity of people actually using it.

That's what I think.

Didn't know double-spacing existed on the internet O_O

Testing. Seems to work fine. IDk.

Ah, I see.

I think a full stop serves that purpose.

I'd rather see the 'invalid character' notification go away. Can be rather annoying when copy/pasting.

Agreed!

  • 11.30.2012 3:35 AM PDT

Posted by: Will 043That's correct (although you can emulate a <pre> by setting the font-family and white-space styles to a monospaced font and "pre", respectively), but a <pre> element will render all whitespace, and that's going to include tabs as well as some other uncommon characters.

In that sense, I think there's a legitimate concern in changing posts to be displayed in that way.

  • 11.30.2012 10:05 PM PDT

No. Also, they said that it is too late to suggest things now.
