Lonk Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I've noticed that there are YCMers that copy and paste large walls of text. However, all the copy and pasting done on this site leads to having everything single spaced. Single space can get me pretty confused during reading and will cause people to lose interest. Double-Spacing is also an annoyance, since you need to go through every line just to space them out to your desire. So, I propose that the Double-Spacing code should exist. If this exists, is too difficult to do or is uneeded by the community, feel free to lock it. However, if double spacing is needed in YCM, the Double-Space Button would be located to the left of the bulleting list, and the type code for it would be [Double-Space]text[/Double-Space]. When you type over a new line, the code kicks in and takes it over another line. You can also highlight the wall of text and click the Double-Space to set the entire highlight into double-spaced format (captain obvious). This feature can be pretty helpful for YCM as it helps re-direct people's attention to reading the text rather than reading a mess, and it will ease having to manually double-space everything, which can prove to be frustrating at times if you have to do it yourself. So, anyone agrees? [u]Supporters[/u] (7): Order-Sol .P3 .Rai Kuri Skylie Ｍｕｇｅｎｄｒａｍｏｎ Swtor40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonk Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 [quote name='.P3' timestamp='1327507797' post='5780124'] Surely that's what [u][b]Bolding and Underlining[/b][/u] is for? I'm not too sure I get this. [/quote] Simple, Bolding and Underlining only help in specific points, but if you actually want to make a huge wall of text much easier to read, you have to double-space it. Naturally, double-spacing gives your eyes a break rather than feel forced to continue on and lose where you went. People want to read the point, but the fact that single-spacing makes a big confusion sight-wise can deter them from reading it. Simply Bolding and Underlining everything wouldn't help the problem. It just adds to the fact of needing double-spacing. Also, for those who do want to double-space, the process is rather annoying, as you need to hit return on all of your lines without making errors that just waste even more time. This will prove very beneficial for the creative writing section as well, the forum that actually wants people to actually read the material clearly without wasting further time on spacing the lines after copying and pasting it from Word. Giving a spacing code would help this greatly. We have alignment codes, by why no spacing codes? This is the purpose of the suggestion. This would also be slightly more easier to read if it exists.

.Rai Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I've personally thought that double-spacing is disgusting because it's, coming from a designer, kinda ugly. But I can see why it's perhaps useful in areas, so general support here since it's a harmless piece of coding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuri Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Harmless code. Not a stupid idea. Actually adds more organization to posts. I must say. [IMG]http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv249/highwind16/original.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master White Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 [center]hmm, I guess I support even though it might take awhile to get kicked nto effect, like centering everything is my favorite thing it has not been fixed, as this post is supposed to be centered, but is not.....[/center] [center]But even though I see logic behind double-spacing, but it would also count as characters and in sigs, there is a cahracter limit, so lets say the limit was 10 sentences, double spaced = only 5, as that would be a problem....[/center] [center]So, i support, but don't expect it to get put in or accpeted right away, as YCMaker has apparently better things to do in life, which is fine, everyone does....[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelds9 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I support, but (I may be lazy), it is a pain to write 3 capitals and 2 hyphens in a code. Maybe the code should just be [doublespace][/doublespace] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
