[RFC] Convert quoted images to links

[Ger]

As with all styling: there should be a diferent approach for mobile devices. Therefore I posted a specific RFC for mobile styles.

TBH: I like the approach of A_Jelly_Doughnut more then my original MOD, or even better: make it collapsable.

Instead of making RFC for a specific bbcode tag, why not make it for all tags? That is ability to use different html code for styling bbcode depending on parent items.

So it would be possible to do this:
- style quote -> img differently than img
- style a -> img differently than img
- style quote -> quote differently than parent quote
and so on.

In bbcode.html code could be like this

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN quote_img --> code for img inside quote <!-- END quote_img -->
<!-- BEGIN quote_a_img --> code for img inside link inside quote, which makes it impossible to use link for img <!-- END quote_a_img -->

It makes more sense than doing it only for 1 combination of bbcodes.

It seems to me that if the solution is that simple then the boards that want it should just apply it to themselves.

Specifying arbitrary image size restrictions does not strike me as a great restriction to unconditionally impose on all boards.

Some templates do that, but I don't think its better. I believe scrolling bars should be avoided as much as possible, it's especially annoying on mobile browsers.

You have to scroll past it no matter what ... only if you want to read past the first paragraph of text do you need use the scrollbar, thereby reducing the total amount of scrolling small form factor users need to do.

I do like Arty's idea, although I'd suggest styling it with CSS, e.g.:

Code: Select all

.quotebox > .codebox {
font-size: 75%;
color: #237f97;
}
