Lua Button

I understand that there is Lua syntax supported on the forums, but why isn't there a button to make it easier?

Thanks.

Cralor is referring to the forum tags that do Lua-syntax highlighting and line-numbering. Unfortunately, while the forum editor has a button to create PHP tags, there isn't a button for the Lua syntax highlighting.

Lua Code:
  1. print("Hello world! I be Lua!")

Code above was generated using:

[ highlight=Lua ]
print("Hello world! I be Lua!")
[ /highlight ]
(Remove space after open square brackets and before close square brackets to make it work.)

Ok - reading the OP after being awake for over 24 hours and with hydrocodone kicking in made me think Cralor was thinking in another plane of existence.

Adding buttons to the vBulletin editor isn't the easiest thing but I'll look into it since its definitely something many of us would use.

Good suggestion.

Ooh! Ooh! Can I get a third-share credit if you're able to implement it?

1/3: Cralor (he can split half of that with his slobbery cat)

1/3: Torhal for somehow being confused enough thanks to tiredness and meds that he posted something which required I reply as a thanks to him for helping me with addon stuff last week (/me wins run-on sentence award today!)

1/3: Me because I 'splained stuff

...and, finally...

1/3: Dolby because he'll have been the one to add it

Wait, that's four-thirds. Erm.

/me thinks for a second and double-checks his math.

Ah! I was right. It's 133% because WoWInterface.com is OP. Duh!
