[center][size=14pt]TEST[/size][/center]most users of my forum contact me for this problem ...
I don't think thats a bug seeing as centre tags normally come first, so than you add your color and your sizing.

There is no solution for it I suppose. It is the same with PHP coding aswell.
This works:
<center><font size="3">text</font></center>This will not:
<font size="3"><center>text</center></font>
beh why it's work perfectly in phpbb, ipb and vbulletin ?
surely there must be a solution :P
I think I'm going to agree that it should work, or rather at least parse the tags correctly so the html generates as the user intended even though the browser may not produce the desired result.
Then you will have all kinds of issues with tags not being nested correctly; the whole point is that you can't have block tags inside non block tags, which not only is invalid XHTML, but can produce some very messed up results unintentionally.
I suppose, but the way it's handled more or less gives the impression that the parser is broken rather it being the fault of the user.
I agree, yet I have no better solution to add to the party.
Maybe we can add it to mantis and tag it as "2.1"....
I guess so.
But I have a bad feeling about that bug... :P
any news ? :D
It was tracked last year already.

I, honestly, do not consider this a bug.
Just because other forum softwares do not subscribe to HTML standards does not mean that we should be breaking them.
Hi,
Please see these points about text-formatting:
I formatted my whole topic (color and size).
Then I formatted the second line with different color.
Then I formatted the third line as (code).
Then I formatted the fourth line with different color.
the result is: the formatting after the (code) is destroyed.
and in the last line the bbcode brackets is showed literally.
Plz see the attached pic may be I did not explain obviously.
[color=blue][size=18pt]
bbcode test bbcode test bbcode test bbcode test bbcode test
[color=green]bbcode test bbcode test bbcode test bbcode test bbcode test [/color]
[code]bbcode test bbcode test bbcode test bbcode test bbcode test [/code]

SMF version?
Assuming you are using the 2.0, are you using the WYSIWYG editor?
Ah, probably I get what you mean.
You wrote 4 lines, then selected all of them and changed size and color. Then selected line 2 and changed color, selected line 3 and assigned code, selected line 4 and changed color.
Am I right?
i am not sure if code bbc is supported in the WYSIWYG editor, i think arantor had a post about this before in this board.
See my edit.
It happens also withou WYSIWYG, but I don't know if it can be considered a bug...it's a wrong BBCode nesting.
related to http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/view.php?id=4071 ?
In fact it depends on vivid's answer.
If I understood correctly it's not at all related to the WYSIWYG.
It's just a sequence of operations done with the formatting buttons:
1) write 4 lines of text,
2) select all of them and change size and color using the formatting tools (i.e. the drop down lists, or otherwise put a color and/or size tag around the entire text),
3) select the second line and change the color (same as above with the drop down list, or put a color tag around the second line),
4) select the third line and apply the code tag with the code button (or put code tags around the third line)
5) (optional) select the last line and change color (again with the tool or putting color tags)
It will end up with some tags improperly closed.
The fact is that "block level" tags (code and quote for example) break the formatting applied to the entire post (i.e. those applied at step 2) because the formatting itself is not a block level tag. and the result in that case are some closing tags leftover at the end of the post.
I think is this one (http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/view.php?id=3553).
Anyone any objections with me tagging this one onto https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/issues/1175 as it's similar and around BBCode as well.?
Separate issue please.
Moved to github.

Thanks :)
As this is on Github, this topic will be closed, trying to consolidate everything in one place so it can be tracked better as to what needs doing.
