Quotes on VB

[The Man]

Even if I surrounded your [q] tag with font colour tags, the <hr> tags in the [q] tag would still be of colour ffffff, which wouldn't look quite right since I use 38e897 in my quotes to match my text. If you could input a variable for colour of the the entire structure of the [q] tag, then you'd be able to make your quotes match your font colour, which would be, at the least, cool.

This is the result in my posts with the custom HTML I use, in other words.

[q=no one]But this is what happens with [q] and <font> tags.[/q]Basically, the OOC tag would work as follows:

[ooc={color}]blarg[/ooc]

would have the HTML of

<table><tr><td bgcolor=#204962><font size=5 color={color}>OOC:</font></td><td><font color={color} size=2>blarg</font></td></tr></table>

and, with the color value of 7eb7ed (Britty Blue™) and the text input of "I love Britty Blue™" would come out as follows:

OOC:	I love Britty Blue™

I don't think it would take very long to implement, and it would probably be cool. It would certainly make it much easier for me, and others who use custom font colours, to use OOC tags that match our text. *massive noddage*

When I think about it, though, it might be more useful to make the text in the OOC box customisable. I dunno. We could have a poll about it or something, I suppose.

It would be best if you could have two variables for a vB tag so that [ooc={box text},{color}] could give you customisable text and text colour. Is there any way to do that? That's more or less what I'm asking. Then I'd be able to use the [q] tag and almost completely get rid of all the custom HTML I currently have to use in the process. It doesn't take tons of time for me to use that code, since I have a big Word document that includes all of my custom-coloured little bits of source, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to access it as often. And I'm sure other people like Tammy and Hsu who have their own custom font colours would benefit from the new tags as well. But if there's no way to make two variables within a tag header, then I wouldn't worry about it too much.
