bbcode -containers euclid macro buttons artemis editor power-user layouts

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

This idea is to help streamline the experience of using and mastering BBCode and formatting while building an article, especially in cases of using complex BBCode or container groups often within articles. One current method is to use Artemis, saving in blocks of text/code within it that you can then open with CTRL+Enter and copy out. What I'm proposing is a small integration of a portion of that directly into the editor interface itself, by saving those bits of texts as "macro buttons" that will sit alongside the other BBCode buttons that already exist within Euclid.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

What I think would work really cleanly is to add a few buttons -- perhaps 4 -- within the group of BBCode buttons that already exist.

For simplicity they could be labeled 1 through 4 (though there's an opportunity to allow users to choose icons for them as well). Each button would be tied to either a specific text input box, or perhaps there would be a way to choose the selected text from Artemis itself to save it as the "macro" for each button.

With this, it'd be so much quicker to easily drop columns, rows, or complex container groups into articles.

What are other uses for this feature request?

It certainly benefits power users of Euclid and BBcode, but I believe having easier access to some useful but often missed BBCode (such as columns) would be highly beneficial to those just getting started in mastering layouts as well.

The Team's Response

Macros/templating will be added but not exactly this way :) I am accepting it as a way to inform you when the actual features comes out.

Love this idea. Still learning to use the BBCode, and wanting to do some of the more fancy stuff. And who knows fancy better than Stormbril?

Oh my, YESSSS PLEASE! Though I'd increase this to 5-9 buttons, Macros would be perfect for people who are still learning code, but have custom snippets like my 'scrolls', making it's easier/faster to use what we have. Better yet -- I know my friends will see how I use it, go "Uhhhhhh, Jaime, ya know you can use those buttons THIS way..." and then I'll REALLY be grateful for the Macros (cause I'll even LOOK smart). If I was allowed to, I'd pledge 10,000 points for this suggestion.

This would be so incredibly useful for me; it always takes so much energy and time just to format w/ bbcode that having macros would make it so much faster!

I don't have a high enough subscription to use containers, but I do think that the euclid editor is lacking with the options it provides in the buttons. A button for columns would be really nice, along with a button for aloud boxes, and [li][/li].

This would be great! I'm not quite to the level of writing yet but that's merely a light on the horizon, I would definitely find this incredibly useful in the future.

I'd use this for BBCode snippets, custom containers I've set up, and also to quickly use my favourite subscriber group subcontainers. A rare +300 from me :)

Having a button to press sounds so easy on my brain! Variables are great for getting our preset content in, but this would be a good way to set up pre-made code STRUCTURE, so we can fill in the content as needed. (I keep my code snippets in Artemis and Notebook, and the amount of time a button would save when I'm spamming "col-sm-6" and row codes down my page sounds amazing XD
