I just pushed an update to the notes page editor which shows you a live preview of the note you're editing. I'm pretty sure this will help some of you bbcoders out fairly significantly.

As always, let me know if you find problems with this feature.

Im noticing an issue in that the commented out bbcode doesn't seem to work properly, I've attached a comparison of the final result and the notes result below. Exact same block of code.

This especially causes issues when using \ then a line break for organizational purposes.

The backslash issue seems like something I need to look into. Apparently I forgot something Smile

As for the rendering problem, that's likely because of the different widths of the containing blocks. Try clicking the "Switch Preview Layout" to make the preview stack below rather than be a column on the right.

Hmm. I've been trying to reproduce the backslash problem, but can't seem to find a suitable example.

Could you provide a bbocde string that triggers the issue for me please?

Another update:

I fiddled around with the newline handling, and hopefully it will fix the issue for you. As I mentioned, I wasn't able to reproduce the problem but figured it was probably related to how newline characters are sent from various different systems.

With a bit of luck, it'll work fine again for you.

I've noticed that now the Preview pane has been added you can no longer resize the box you're coding in. Is this deliberate? May be that I'll never need it, but normally I make the box as close to full-screen as I can when working on something. Smile

If it's one or the other though the Preview is much better Very Happy

Resizing of the editing box is a feature of your browser, not the site. I've done nothing to prevent resizing though, so it should still work as before.. Perhaps you need to switch to the stacked layout in your browser?

Ah, apologies. I didn't associate the 2 but I have just installed Windows 10 and haven't put Chrome back on yet Smile

Yeah it's working fine now. Probably fixed it.

Or maybe it didn't. Code is funny like that ain't it?
