You can now quote text

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

Hey goats. You can now quote text.

To quote a message simply insert two one '>' with the quoted text after it. The quote will end when you insert a line break.

It's a simple feature but it was a bitch to implement, working with strings in PHP is torture. I am going to try to get it down to one '>' but this works for now.

>Cool.

Remove the automatic quotation marks; those are the comment writer's responsibility.

Now how do I do hyperlinks on this site?

Want me to write it for you? lol. Not working. I figure PHP supports RegExs. It is not overly hard.

It only supports one line. Tonight I think I will adjust it to support multiple breaks.

[ - ] GrayDragon 1 point 2.7 yearsAug 10, 2021 08:04:00 ago (+1/-0)*

No, multiple breaks is wrong. It should just be the start of line with a greater-than sign and a replacement before and after the line break with the needed CSS, right?

I just don't want to lead you down the wrong road.

If the users' don't know how to use it right, fuck them. They will learn. Don't go overboard.

E: In other words "adjust it to support multiple breaks" is a nightmare.

E2: If the first character on any given newline starts with a greater-than sign, it is a quote UNTIL the CR. Replace all. That is it. Nothing fancy. Poal and Reddit I think work that way.

are there no markdown parsers for PHP? it would make this a lot easier

[ - ] system [op] 0 points 2.7 yearsAug 10, 2021 06:12:22 ago (+0/-0)

There has to be. This is something I've wondered a couple times through all this and I've briefly looked around, but I am not sure.

There are multiple markdown parsers for php, easy to find:

https://github.com/erusev/parsedown was the first link that popped up, but there are many!

I actually saw this one and was faced with the choice of learning it or learning how to do it manually. I went the manual route and I think I have it down. It's not fun though so maybe I'll see what it's about.
