Add new BB-codes for HTML-elements <ins>, <del> and maybe <s> #697

Closed auge8472 closed 6 months ago

auge8472 commented 6 months ago

Writing an entry about testing a new script, I came across the need to transparently document changes inside the forum entry. Therefore I wanted to use the HTML-elements ins and del, but realised that there are no BB-codes for this. This might not be a common task but IMHO nothing speaks against providing buttons and BB-codes for this purpose.

Maybe it would be a good idea, to provide an additional BB-code for s (strike through) independently from del. These two HTML-elements have different meaning [^1], even both have the same visual formatting at least in the common desktop browsers.

It's questionable if the buttons for these BB-codes should be displayed per default or if should be hidden behind a setting switch.

[^1]: s = text with a strike through line, del = outdated text, possibly replaced by text in ins (subsequently inserted text)

We can add BB support even if a button is not shown like for the tag [pre]

I know this. :-)

I will add the codes without buttons. However, I'll create a wiki page to document the existing BB-Codes.
