As your friendly neighborhood Admin Team, the gang here at TVTropes HQ is always working to improve the site.
Many of those improvements begin with suggestions posted right here, on the Community Wishlist. Is there a feature you really want on TVTropes? Post it.
Is there something we could be doing better? We want to know. Do you think we look fat in these pants? We were totally afraid of that. See a bug? Report it.
Important things to know:
- We're all about that content-creation life! The top contenders for our attention are ideas that'll create more content, like the video uploading feature, or speed up launching new pages. On the flip side, design or layout tweaks won't be our top priority.
- Help us dig through the goldmine of old wishlist items! If you have an old request gathering dust or spot one you're totally on board with, give it a bump and a like. There's a treasure trove of 6+ years' worth of ideas just waiting to be rediscovered. Items without enough love may not make the cut and will be closed.
- Was your wishlist item locked up without an explanation? It was most likely disapproved or just too big of a task versus the benefit it would ultimately have. Time is precious, and we want to focus on updates with the biggest bang for the buck. Don't be discouraged though! We appreciate every idea and we're always listening.
Oh yes, I've been reading all the wishlist entries looking for this and have actually attempted to script my own userscript for this.
On its basic level it can still be a textarea element but the regex rules only search and replace the rendering characteristics of the text element not its actual content and are triggered by the onchange event — that is the basics of how it works for FANDOM's editor and many online code editors with "code beautifiers".
Would be cool if this feature also did collapsing and expanding of entries content, say only the trope name but not its description or folders, heading sections, etc. Another nice feature would be line numbers but as one may wonder these things are sort of a package deal.
AFK with issues, will return
For markup text in the wiki editor to apply fonts and colors depending on a markup to show areas it's affecting.
This can be done by using a div with contenteditable instead of textarea for the code and another div as the background, then OnChange the content of the text div is copied to the background div and span elements are inserted based on regex.
I'm not sure how editors like FANDOM's do it.
