Yes, it is close to what I want, but Iām 100% going to avoid floating tooltips.
Reasons are:
- Itāll bloat the submission form. Iām in favour of people just filling up the ready-made form instead of building it themselves in the text editor, but I want to keep it neat and easy to understand.
- For now we know nothing about if there are any character count limits placed upon a post. If there are then itās a question whether these tooltips count to that.
Ceno hit a limit of 45,000 yesterday, but I donāt know if that included tooltips or not.
also tooltips not work on phones (((
I donāt think builds in the compendium should be formatted at all beyond build type (ranged, melee, etc.), class, dmg type and other things from the headline.
What could follow is a tweet sized description of whatever the builder wants to be heard about like key gear, piloting skill requirements, pros and cons, what he ate for breakfast on Monday, whatever.
What sense does it make to type in C e n s u r e , D e a d l y A i m , W o r d o f R e n e w a l like a robot in every freaking inquisitor.
It is to search for builds using certain skills.
If enough people feel like that Iāll simplify the form, leaving only āmain skillsā.
Oh, I didnāt realize thatā¦ It might actually make sense. Censure might as well be a dmg skill, etc.
And leave WPS: none. Casters and pets MUST SUFFER! 
I hope new format,doesnāt require typing codes and is not bloated.
I feel that beats the idea of compendium,to have easy tags and players to choose quickly,which build is interesting to them.
Anyway the information is already in the build topics,why you should rewrite it again?
I feel that beginners builds should be sorted by style of play,without spoilers and others are fine just the way are now.
As whole I donāt like the idea to have multiple hidden behind spoilers stuff.

I am agree with Nery and ya1.
I donāt want use codes that is not hereā¦ I have to find out how to do that āgreenā color. (Even if is there, quote, copy.) In the old forum it was great i just klick on the button.
Now i feel everybody here is some kind of webmaster with all the tricksā¦ and i am not. I am forced to use soemthing what i donāt understand or not fit for the forum.
Everybody speaking BB codes i donāt even know what is that.
Further WPS i think default is good, wich is None.
You would have definitely seen BBcode while USING the old forum. Once you highlighted your text and selected the color you wanted it would have wrapped that highlighted text in this:
[color=green]Text[/color]
Text
There is no way you could have missed seeing that while editing your post on the old forum. Itās simple forum editing jargon.
I agree tho it would still be nice if Z and them could figure out if there is a plugin already for the forum that exists that adds this functionality via buttons.

Oh that is yeah i used that, but still donāt know what is BB code in generally, and why is the name BB code, like a champagne.
Essentially BBcode is just a very lightweight, stripped down version of HTML (HTML is generally the backbone of web sites/pages and what is used to display these pages for you).
BBcode is a more simplified version of that used primarily in forums for easier editing of text and the like, as we are doing here. And it is often what your ābuttonsā you favor are making use of in the post editors.
The āBBā stands for Bulletin Board - BBcode = Bulletin Board code
THX! Now, I see.
What is your solution for (c), which turns into Ā©? To use square brackets instead of round ones and type [c]?
You could also just put a space before and after:
( c )
( c )
I am under the impression that people wanted to search by these things. Firstly they need to agree on a format, and secondly ( c ) does not yield any results in the search.
Edit: It does, if you use quotation marks: ā( c )āā¦ thatās not easy enough.
Interesting and good to know tho.
Itās worth mentioning that, besides not being search-friendly, most of these tags are unnecessarily inaccessible to newcomers, especially while their meaning remains buried in a collapsed section of the compendium. Thereās little to gain from contracting āGearing: easyā (or what have you) into āG1ā and āCrucibleā into (c), and so on.

Sigh, who would had known that this would be such an issue.
My stance on that is the very fact that some did the formatting themselves instead of prepaired one (yeah, turns out there isnāt one) is crazy and unproductive. I thought to just make you fill the form like that:
[color=yellowgreen]Damage Type:[/color] Fire, Cold, etc
[color=yellowgreen]Active Skills:[/color] Type your active skills here, separated by a comma
[color=yellowgreen]Passive Skills:[/color] Type your passive skills here, separated by a comma
[color=yellowgreen]WPS Skills:[/color] Type your WPS skills here, separated by a comma
[color=yellowgreen]Crucible:[/color] If tested in crucible, type the performance here
[color=yellowgreen]Shattered Realm:[/color] If tested, type max shard you've reached.So all arguments about how bbcodes are evil because typing them is hard are rejected, because I donāt plan to make you type them. Rather than that, you need to convince me why you want to do the formatting yourselves instead of using the prepaired form similar to one above.
Reasons why I want to keep the coloring:
- People are used to it.
- The compendium will look like a plain wall of text without it.
Thank you for attention.
