Anchor button in reply window

(shagileo) #1

Hey hey,

What could be handy, is a nifty little anchor ‘creator’ in the ‘post reply’ window .
Like the ‘insert image’ , ‘wrap QUOTE tags around text’, ‘insert link’ … etc buttons

Screenshot below should clarify what I mean.
Not an obligation, though, just a suggestion

How is this possible you ask?

  • solution: the user selects the texts he wants to anchor (with ctrl+LMB) and then press the ‘create anchor’ button => magically, unseen tapirs for the eyes will wrap them texts in anchorian style

If not possible, no biggie

What would anchor do? I’m not familiar with the function.

Anchor is quite a nifty tool
It’s like a link that takes you to a part of your post (handy to create a general index so that users can easily navigate through longer posts).

An example of it can be seen in here: http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18357
(like stated in an earlier topic)

Oh I see, that’s a nice feature.
Would be lost on me though, my posts never exceed 4 lines :wink:

It would be nice for long post or tutorials yes!

maybe 2 icons then… anchor and anchor link ^^

I would like this feature :D:tongue:

Yea, it would also stimulate users to use it , I think

I mean, there aren’t many who know the feature or know how to use it. Surely you can say: hey guys, this is how you use it
But eventually, it gets buried away again

The function is there for us to use it, but it’s a bit hidden :frowning:

edit: lol, it works in code tags too, that’s even better :wink:
Anyway, to see the code, just quote my message.
It’s not exactly userfriendly, but it works.
