stuck in a tree
not really a help request with the code as such - i know how to get the layout i want.
there's just this one problem with the BBCODE system: it goes completely mental every time i copy/paste or go back to edit a post.
for example, i'd have a perfect code right here:
"[oh there's a row here] [oh look a column] [oh hey a background] [oh check it out a border]
[there's a centerblock here]
[this text is justified] asdfghjkl [/this text is no longer justified] [/bye bye centerblock] [/rip background and border and column and row]"
i hit preview. looks great. i hit post. still looks great.
but then if i try to edit the post or copy/paste the code into a reply...
"[OH HEY LOOK A ROW] [/LOL BYE ROW] [HERE'S THAT COLUMN YOU CODED EARLIER] [oh it's the background and border and justify and shit inside it] (there's no text here) [/END OF COLUMN WHOOPS]
[HEY LET'S CLONE THAT COLUMN AGAIN BUT DOWN HERE AND COMPLETELY FUCK UP THE LAYOUT]
this time there's text but what in the-
[DON'T FORGET TO ADD TWO EXTRA BORDERS SO THERE ARE BOXES LITERALLY EVERYWHERE LOL]
[ADD LIKE 4 MORE EMPTY ROWS] [AND JUSTIFY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING A FEW TIMES]
[/NOW LET'S END EVERYTHING]"
it's crazy. it's like the code has a mind of its own and there's no way to just edit what you've written without triggering a dupefest and completely mucking up the post.
does anyone else get this problem? does anyone know how to fix it?
