Topic: Smilies in quotes

If you post a smile inside a quote tag, it does not show, but if for example you post a tongue inside, that shows.
How come?

smile tongue

Re: Smilies in quotes

The actual bug is that the first smilie in the quote isn't shown, i'll look into it.

Re: Smilies in quotes

How come the third "smilie" isnt shown either though, it should be the same as smilie 4

Re: Smilies in quotes

=] isn't a smilie is it?

Re: Smilies in quotes

Indeed its not, I was meant to put = ) lol smile

Re: Smilies in quotes

It's actually nothing to do with the fact it's in a quote, it's because the parser currently makes sure there is a white-space before the smiley and a non-word after it.

See: a:) .:) [:) smile smile] smile. :)a

Making sure there was a non-word before too rather than a white-space would fix it inside quotes, though I'm not sure if there was a reason for specifically requiring a white-space there?

Re: Smilies in quotes

I think it might have been to stop them getting parsed in urls

Re: Smilies in quotes

Is there a way to let them be parsed if they are after something like ] for example a [/ quote] tag?

Re: Smilies in quotes

Yeh, that was what I was planning, just haven't got round to doing it tongue apart from after ] i don't think you'd have a smiley after any other non-whitespace character would you?

Re: Smilies in quotes

None that I can think of, unless you try to chain together a few smilies without spaces. smiletongue:(

Re: Smilies in quotes

some strange people like to put a chain of tongues together tongue:P:P

Re: Smilies in quotes

Fixed, if you want a chain of smilies, use the spacebar tongue
