Default UBB CODE question again

Tell me, could you write an entire homepage in UBB Code? If so, where could I get a compiler for it?

is there an UBB browser? Is your browser able to read pure UBB?

compiler? UBB code is a *simple* markup language. A CGI script (Ultimate.cgi here at totse) interprets the UBB code and converts it appropriately into HTML so your browser can render it.

Are you asking for a script that does this so that you can write HTML but using UBB structure?

Why would you want to? It's almost identicle to HTML aside from the fact that UBB only works through a UBB-CGI bin and HTML works through a web browser. Plus there are not enough UBB codes to support anything more than a few text changes and links.

hmmm A UBB browser? NETSCAPE: UBB edition. Interesting... maybe be able to write in UBB and have it convert to HTML when you post it, or have the browser itself convert it.

yes compiler, like Dreamweaver MX(which I use) is a compiler for HTML.

also so far I havent had anyone say if enough UBB exists to make a web site, or if it just has enough to make some simple text altercations

Dreamweaver is not a compiler for HTML. HTML is an interpreted "language". It's not compiled. Dreamweaver is simply a WYSIWYG type editor.

A compiler turns a higher human readable code into low-level machine code. HTML is simply interpreted and then displayed to the user.

not nessicarily, it compiles HTML into what you see, therefore a compiler.

no it doesnt. your browser does that, and it does so by INTERPRETING the HTML "code".

Look up the definition of compile before you argue with cense. In fact, just don't argue with cense, he rocks.

To make making webpages simpler of course. and new UBB codes would have to be created if not enough type lines exist. such as: [button 1 url=www.page.com/home/ex.html] something like that. SIMPLIFY MAN!
