Eratosphere - New BB Codes for even easier poem entry and critique

I've just coded a new BB Codes that should make it easier to enter poems with indentations or multiple spacing, and for strikeouts.

First, the space indent BB code inserts a block of 5 hard blank characters anywhere it's deployed, though I'm sure it will be used mainly for left indents. You can use a series of them to insert that many consecutive 5 space indentation. The details are here, and the code is simple to use -- note that it's an 'l' or 'L' (not the number '1'):

Code:

Another related new code introduced complements the above for cases where you need less than 5 blanks. It will insert a single hard blank character, meaning you can use a series of them to insert that many consecutive blanks. The details are here, and the code is just as simple:

Code:

In both cases, you'll find new icons that will insert the code with one click from the edit page: http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/images...paceindent.gif for space indents, and http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/images.../spacechar.gif for the single hard blank character.

Finally, there’s a new BB code for adding a strikethrough. Actually, I’d had this code in effect for a few weeks now, but I’ve just added an icon for it, http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/images...strikethru.gif , at the top pane of the edit window. The details are here. It can be used thus:

Code:

[s]Strike through a  words[/s], or a character[s]s.[/s]

with output:

Strike through a  words, or a characters.

Here are some examples of their use (click on 'Edit Post' to look at the code):

Quote:

No indent
     Single indent
          Double indent
          Double indent
Middle     indent

One har d space
Two har  d spaces
Left indent by a single space
   left indent by 3 spaces.
    left indent by 4 spaces.

The ~~strikethrough~~ code is more straightforward than the others.

Hopefully, these will prove helpful in entering specially formatted poems, or adding strikeouts during critique.

Cheers,
