[manual] tag?

[BlackBulletIV]

thelinx added a [ wiki ] tag a little while ago, which I've found to be really helpful. I was wondering whether we could have a [manual] (or something like that) tag which would link to the function specified in the Lua 5.1 manual. In case you haven't figured it out already, the format of the link is this:

Code: Select all

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-<FUNCTION_NAME>

That is, unless you're linking to the C API, then it would be:

Code: Select all

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#<FUNCTION_NAME>

Added.

Code: Select all

[manual]print[/manual]
[manual=print]this function outputs text[/manual]

print
this function outputs text

It's a good idea, especially for helping people who haven't used Lua before.

Thanks a lot thelinx!

It's a good idea, especially for helping people who haven't used Lua before.

It for this reason that I thought of it, constantly grabbing links from the manual can get tiring.

Oooh wow that is useful.

And for everyone who doesn't know, you can use the wiki tag like this:

Code: Select all

[wiki]love.filesystem.read[/wiki]
[wiki]Game_Distribution[/wiki]

love.filesystem.read
Game_Distribution

The two of them together are a great pair.

And: Game Distribution works too.

And you can do this shit as well.

Body:getX still doesn't work, though.

Awesomeness! (apart from the Class:method thing though)

Okay, I finally fixed that annoying colon thing. I knew the issue all along but I couldn't bother fixing it.
The problem is that phpBB's {INTTEXT} thing for BBCode matching doesn't match colons or parentheses. I ventured deep into the PHP source code (acp/includes/acp_bbcode.php) and added those into the INTTEXT match thing.

tl;dr you can now link to articles like (File):open

Hurray!
