[monospace][/monospace]

mybearworld

I think it would be cool if we'd had a [monospace] BBCode thing.
It would work like the [code] tag, but you can do things like [b], [i] etc in it.
Because when you now do it (with [code] tags), you just get

[b]Not bold[/b], [i]Not italic[/i]

Wich makes sense for code, but not for just wanting the font. But for some purposes, you'd just like to mix [code] and non-[code] - just [monospace].

Thanks for reading

Or just have the [font] tags because that's what most bulletin board systems support.

Not a bad idea, but when do you need monospace but also that Bulletin Board thingy?
ASCII art! Yeah, setting fonts would be actually pretty neat.

HEY! Monospace is what you code in, that's not bad to read! I prefer [mono][/mono].

How is this hard to read? If that's the case, I would be wearing a -21.3 D glasses now.

To be honest, I love monospace. I would probably use it all the time.

a font tag would probably be a better all around solution, but yeah, a monospace font gets the job done well. if i had to code in non monospace that would be painful and formatting still looks fine with monospace fonts.

theres some italics and bold probably in there and its all monospace

I am not talking about what you just did, I am talking about this "code-like" font called monospace.
But it should work like a normal text and not in a box where you can scroll but just like normal text.

True, this would be very useful for Ascii art, but also for explaining things.

If you would like to do code, then that would be easy with code tags.

const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000
const path = require('path');
app.get('/',function(req,res) {
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname+'/index.html'));
  });
app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:$(port}`)
  })

I would still use [code] tags. Also, if you don't want the box, or you want bold/italic support, use this website, upload your image and use it in [img] tags (as I did above).

Well, so does every text. In fact, monospace text actually adds space than regular text. If you have a low level short sightness and wearing glasses, take it off now and compare these texts:

yes i know, i was just using it as an example of how formatting would look in monospace.

Normal looks best, big text looks the most catchy, and mono space does nothing at all. I have a pretty high degree though.

Oh… because for most people monospace will look the most readable.

What would happen to the code tag?

Yes, it will.
Also, I don't really like using websites outside of Scratch - and I'm sure other people are sharing this opinion.

Normal text is really hard (and annoying) to read
Big text is- well, okay.
Monospace text is easy, you see lilililili without problem.
I see your point.
