The New 'e' Code!

[TheBuzzSaw]

This code is a bit more technical than other tags. It involves the placement of something called HTML entities. For you and your everyday posting, it just lets you post unusual symbols.

If I were coding in HTML and wanted to place the copyright symbol, I would use the code ©. However, MyBB (the forum we're in) filters symbols such as & because it assumes you want to output the symbol, not use it in some code. So, it ends up just looking like this:

©

So, enter the e code! When using an HTML entity in this manner, you simply place everything except the & and the ; between the e codes: [ e ]copy[ /e ]

©

Enjoy!

For a big list of symbols you can now easily output, go here:

Look at the Entity Name column. And remember, just remove the & and the ; to use the code.

Some notable codes:
eacute : é
mdash : —
copy : ©
reg : ®
frac14 : ¼
frac12 : ½
frac34 : ¾
cent : ¢
