Making a div using column-count into a BBCode? | SOLVED

[niftysmith]

I've seen this elsewhere on other phpBB forums:

[columns=3]text text text[/columns] and it creates a dynamic 3-column text block.

I've gone ahead and made the code:

Code: Select all

[columns={NUMBER}]{TEXT}[/columns]

Which calls up this:

Code: Select all

<div style="width:100%; margin:0px auto; -webkit-column-count: {NUMBER}; -moz-column-count: {NUMBER}; column-count: {NUMBER};">{TEXT}</div>

But when I actually attempt to implement it in my posts, it doesn't work. Now, I'm a web designer and am very new to BBCode but not new to HTML/CSS. I"m not sure what I'm doing wrong here, as all my logic says that the three-column (or however many columns I want!) text block should show up.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

When I use it in a post, it doesn't render.

Okay, the strangest thing is this: When I preview my post using the code above, it works. When I post it, it doesn't.

So the previewed post shows three columns, but the posted content just shows [columns=3]text text text[/columns]. This seems like a deeper issue, perhaps with my style? Or something else?

Nevermind. Fixed.

Topic unnecessary now that I've fiddled while waiting.

care to explain what the problem was and how you fixed it? just for the benefit of others that have the same or similar problem.
