Correct Coding For Quotes In The Header
When you make a quote in a post, it's in BB code:
[quote]text[/quote]
So if you put something like that in the HTML header, you would usually use the same tags for the elements as BB code, except you would substitute the brackets with < to start and > to end. However, I read somewhere about using <blockquote> in web pages. I thought it would have been <quote>. Which one is correct, and what's the difference between the two?

A faith that is fervently grounded in Christ,
The hope that endures for all time.

Re: Correct Coding For Quotes In The Header
Sometimes they're the same, but sometimes they're different.
[scroll] = <marquee>
[url] = <a>
[code] = <pre>
[quote] = <blockquote>
<marquee> shouldn't be used anymore, but since javascript is disabled in Runboard's headers and footers, <marquee> will have to do.
There is no such thing as a <col> tag for defining color. The old way was to use <font color="#______">, but <font> tags should never be used anymore. Instead, use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to separate content from style.
[img=_____] = <img src="_____" alt="__" />
[b] = <b>, but <b> should never be used anymore.
[i] = <i>, but <i> should never be used anymore.
[u] = <u>, but <u> should never be used anymore.
[center] = <center>, but <center> should never be used anymore.
Instead of <b>, use CSS to style bold text. However, if you would strongly emphasize the word you are bolding when reading it out loud, you may use <strong> in that case.
Instead of <i>, use CSS to style italicized text. However, if you would somewhat emphasize the word you are italicizing when reading it out loud, you may use <em> in that case.
Instead of <u>... Well, you really shouldn't underline text unless it's a link, because it can confuse people. That said, when you do underline text, that should be done with CSS.
Instead of <center>, use CSS.
[big] generates something other than <big> for Runboard posts, but <big> is actual HTML to enlarge text.
[small] generates something other than <small> for Runboard posts, but <small> is actual HTML to make text smaller.
It really is better to use CSS to define font sizes instead of <big> and <small>, because the goal with good coding is to completely separate content (HTML) from style (CSS).
This may be more information than you wanted, or you may find it helpful, and I thought I'd throw it out there just in case. :)

Re: Correct Coding For Quotes In The Header
what we use in our posts to size images are this code:
[img(xxx,yyy)]linktopicture[/img]
xxx= width of the image,for example 420
yyy= height of the image, for example 180
We can put some strict rules to CSS for giving some sizes to images but for to make it flexible, I think it'll be very good to have this tricky function in RB.

Re: Correct Coding For Quotes In The Header
Nah, Queeny, I just know my code. 
Redsun, another board provider I used to use had the ability to size images in posts, although I can't remember which board provider it was.  I think the code was:
[img width=___ height=___]http://...[/img]
I do remember that width had to come before height, because it wouldn't work if you tried to put height first, and it wouldn't work if you only used one or the other. So basically, you had to be aware of the program's glitches in order to use its features.

Ok, so I have many skills. 
But I'm not a walking computer, honest I'm not.
