Alyksandrei -> Sandbox? (11/10/2012 22:46:51) Is there a better/faster/easier way to preview my posts? I've got a guide, about 20 posts long, full of links. I'm working offline, from the set of files on my hard drive, and I can't seem to find a better way to preview my posts than going to the actual post, clicking "edit", pasting in my code, and clicking "preview". It's not the copy-paste operation that gets me - it's the fact that I could accidentally save my live post with buggy, incomplete updates. I haven't been able to find an independent previewer, online or downloadable, that will handle the ordered and unordered lists properly. So where can I sandbox with a preview?

Starflare -> RE: Sandbox? (11/10/2012 23:05:52) There aren't any on-forum feature for that, other than what you've already said about the "Preview" button. However, the forums use basic HTML coding on our posts, so it should be easy enough to find some sort of previewer on Google.

Alyksandrei -> RE: Sandbox? (11/10/2012 23:09:57) HTML and BBCode are very different when dealing with previewers. I know - I've tried my HTML program with a built-in live preview, and BBCode comes out as unformatted plaintext. So I need something specific to BBCode, which allows both ordered and unordered lists. Nothing I've found so far allows both types of list - they just use a generic "list" tag which produces an unordered list.
