Introduction

The current Erep article editor su**s too much. You can just write and add some 'style' to your sentences. Make them bold, italic and underline. You can also strike through them. You can post an image and add a link too 😛 No.. no, that's not what we are looking for. We are looking for something a little bit modern, something that will look like editor from 21st century.
In this article I will tell you the usage of the Super Editor Loco.
The editor has been made by santirub.
This is copy/paste article.

Browser Compatibility.

The editor have been tested in some browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer, and they didn't gave major problems (some little difference but they work fine) except Internet Explorer, it have problems with the preview, which you may solve installing the Google Chrome Frame (sorry, IE su**s and have so many problems ).
Start using Chrome guys, forget the other browsers.
FTW

Features.


eRepublik's editor allows some famous BBCodes and some others not. Also introduce a line, it is a particular BBCode. Anyways all those things you can't use it normaly with eRepublik's editor unless you put it manually. So to solve this Santirub had to "figure 'em out" which are those codes (in noone place said what they were, except in the wiki that only had a few of them), and so he could made some functions to simplify their use:

  Links, email and Images
-Image: Use it to get cute articles with Images.
- Email: Not so used, but there it is, so if you want to use it.
- Links: One of the most used codes. You may use it under words, it will look more nice.

If I write the BBCodes on this article, they will transform themselves so I will put a picture of them :3



   Formats
- Bol😛 The archi known Bold.
- Italic: Also familiar too, used to stress things
- Underline: Like italic, you may stress things or underline titles.
- Striketrough: Usually used to ironic comments.
- Superscript: Use it for 1st, 2nd or things like that.
- Subscript: Like Superscript, but sub, it haven't so much use, but try it.


   Quotes, Indent and lines
- Indent: It is good for make texts more clear.
- Simple Quote: Yeah, it exist in eR, but their style is so poor.
- Quote a Person: Idem Simple Quote, just add the person who said it.
- Line: The line is a good resource for our Articles, the bad is that if you use it, it change the Style of the rest of the article.


   Smileys
Since long time ago, the editor, allows Smileys, they are kind of ugly, but it's something better than nothing. Santirub has been looking for all combination of them, and hr discovered what he belies are all the Smileys. There are a lot of combinations, and many has multiples ways to get it, don't worry you just push over smiley image, and you will get it.

      😎 :? <.>.> ;3 😆 ❤ 😇 >😉 😐 😁; XD


   Preview
- Preview ON: When you press that button, a Preview box will be opened, with all code
already Parsed, like if you'd be seeing it in eR.
- Preview OFF: This button close the preview.

   Hot Keys
There are some Hot-Keys in the editor to simplify some functions. If you use them, you will get the same format if you press the next buttons:

- CTRL + B: Bold
- CTRL + U: Underline
- CTRL + I: Italic

Tips and Advices.

Some things you should know, mostly of BBcodes in itself:
- Try to use lines next to words like: -title-, because i haven't the right CSS code that eRep use, so it won't be the same in other case (at the preview in this editor).
- Each time that you press the button, the preview will be updated.
- Try to use the preview only for ... preview, i mean for long articles, is annoying so much text between Bar Tool and Text Area.
- Learn what BBCodes do, to improve your articles.
