HTML VS UBBC - Posted By Tim (grievous) on 3rd Mar 08 at 9:05pm
Now, I only put thoes 2 options because you use HTML on Websites and UBBC on forums.

I put a both option because for me, I'v memorized all UBBC out there, and i'm currently pretty good with HTML.

Which one do you like better and use more.

Technically, you *can* use HTML on forums, if the service/forum itself allows it {Wink}

For me, it's HTML. Of course, UBBC is easy and simple to use but there are a lot more possibilities with HTML. I don't really consider UBBC a coding "language" as such.

Well I know most UBBC but I do much prefer html, it has more possibilities and in turn is, in my opinion, easier to remember =]

Javascript! {Grin}

I voted HTML

UBBC isn't a coding language. Technically, I don't believe there is anything you can achieve using BB code that isn't possible with HTML, since the BB code is rendered using HTML.

But then you can say that PHP isn't a language as it's rendered using C++. And C++ isn't a language because it's rendered to machine code. And machine code isn't a language because it's rendered to electrical charges. The list goes on. {Wink} {Tongue Out}

I say you can't compare them, though, as you can't use UBBC without HTML. {Wink}

Same reason you can't compare JS to PHP. They're made for two different things.

True. But by that theory, every pixel on cyberspace can be considered a rendering of something or another, definitively suggesting it to is a "coding language" since it to, performs some decisive function?

I'm gonna go with HTML. Its a lot simplier than UBBC. I'm perfect at HTML, so it doesn't matter to me too much... {Wink}

UBBC is too simple. HTML allows more for things like text and all that. If UBBC allowed you to put font face, size, color, etc. all into just one thing called font and then you could apply those things in the code and end it with the general [/font] or what ever then yes, I'd pick UBBC but it just makes post more bulky when writing them.

You can do that. Remember, UBBC is parsed using HTML. {Wink} Theoretically, anything you can do exclusively with HTML you can do with UBBC.
