Easy and pretty on the eyes.
I don't know about you, but I like reading books on paper, with paragraph indents, etc. Reading online, it's hard to get that, and on a forum, its just not possible....
So tonight I wrote a Visual Basic app to act as a workaround, and I want to share, free of course. It's quite simple:
-Copy your text from your favorite word processor
-Paste into the window of the app
-Select a font and a font size
-Click the button at the bottom to format
-Your text will be formatted to look like this. (hoho shameless plug!)
-And automatically be copied to Clipboard for pasting in your message
How does it manage the indents? By adding three white X's at the start of every paragraph using VBCode.
It also adds line spaces 'tween paragraphs.
I took the liberty of putting AW on it, but with an obvious disclaimer. If this is a problem, please will an admin PM me and I'll "unbrand" it. I won't make it available until I hear word on that.
Here's a screenshot of the app (for PC only):
I know I appreciate the easier to read format, and I hope you might, too.
Available as soon as an admin advises on the logo, etc. Source code available upon request. I'd like to do a web-based version, but I'd have to spend a bit longer on that. Maybe someone with mad php/.net/javascript skills will crank that out
