So I've been using Notepad and .txt files to make chord & tab diagrams. And they are AWESOME. But I can't post them in the forum for the same reason that I can't use Word to make them - The GUI nature of the "modern" software turns the text files into "what you see is NOT what you get."

Are their tricks you forum regulars use to post chord & tab diagrams in the forum? Other than converting them to an image, hosting it somewhere, and linking?
 
Think I might have figured it out. Let's see:

Looks like UU's code supports the BBCODE [code] block. See the # symbol on the toolbar or wrap the reformatted text in [code] markers [/code]

Code:

[COLOR=#000000]|  [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]|  |  |  |[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]|  [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]|  [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]| 2|  | [/COLOR][FONT='inherit']
[/FONT]

If I recall one of my favorite snarky footnotes correctly: WYSIWYG stands for "What you see is all you get", which Brian K. Reid attributed to either himself or Brian Kernigham.
 
Thanks man. I was actually looking for that exact thing in the toolbar but couldn’t find it.

Now to post a bunch of stuff in the techniques sub forum
