[b][/b] vs. [b] [/b] by Apprentice_Anakin on 08-12-2006 at 03:24 AM
I like to use format codes a lot in my conversations. One that that REALLY annoys me is that I will right a sentence, highlight a word that I want to be bold, hit control + B, and it will add an extra space after my word.
For example.
Make THIS word bold.
(highlight "THIS" and hit ctrl + B)
Make [*b]THIS [/b] word bold.
That extra space irritates the crap out of me. However, if I highlight "THIS", click the Format Panel, and then click the 'B', it DOESN'T add the extra space. A bit of an inconsistency.

* I had to put in an asterisk, so it wouldn't make it bold here on the forum.

I think the space is actually better than no space personally... otherwise if I wanted to bold
title:
it would end up as [b]title:[/b] which would then create the :[ (bat) emoticon and screw it up

does it matter? a bold space isn't even noticable!!!

This will be fixed (although the fix for ':' will remain).

Wouldn't it make sense to have a space there, so then it saves you the trouble of typing a space...or whatever, and spaces arn't even visible so it won't really matter unless you're drawing something out of letters, like
| |_| | | |
| _ | | |
|_| |_| |_|
or whatever. I dunno.
