bbcode editor backported from CLI experimental site

I have backported the bbcode editor from the CLI experimental site.

The changes are basically:

1) new set of toolbar icons
2) a couple of new tags ('section', 'spoiler' etc.)

IMHO, it would look better with a line break before all of the text-only buttons -- so you'd have all the regular buttons (up to the text size drop-down) in one line, and the text-only buttons on another...

Plus, related buttons should be kept close to each other. My suggested ordering:

{indent}{s}{pre}{medium}{spoiler}|{youtube}{imgw}{imgh}{imgwh}|{table}{td}{th}{tdw}{thw}{tr}

Thanks for that. Can we point to a page that talks about what they are? I can draft something up if needed. Just interested in making new users comfortable.

Good suggestions.

What is "Insert App Link"?
What is "Section"?

Instead of linking to another entry as

Code: Select all

[url=https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=123]Link Text[/url]
you enter

Code: Select all

[app=123]Link Text[/app]
What is "Section"?
Gives the text inside a different background for better visibility, like here.

I suspect you are referring to the forum editor, which is totally different from the database editor.

The forum editor is built-in to phpBB. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any easy way to change the toolbar layout, but I will check again.

The post pertains to the database editor, of which some features were backported from the CLI site.
