Text Templater

a plain text template to form field generator

As a small side project, I decided to create the Text Templater, a website designed to take plain text with special syntax and generate a form for users to be able to fill out. The idea is that BBCoders will create a template text with the syntax in places where text should be inputted, and users can just use the website to auto create a form for it. Once the user has finished filling it out, they can hit the generate button and copy the code for quick use. What this means for BBCoders is instead of leaving comments all over the place for users to find and hopefully not break the code, you can provide them the template (or a link if its saved in a pastebin), and the user should be able to fill in the form without hassle.

For some quick examples, here are some code by fluticasone using the Text Templater.

For Users

This will hopefully simplify using other people's bbcode templates (if they use it). There would either be a link to it or a template you can copy, which will generate a form you can use. Fill out the form, run it, and it'll return a code you can copy and paste into.
There's still enhancements I want to make to the site in the future, but hopefully this should help lessen confusion in the future

For BBCoders

There is a small learning curve to formatting your bbcode, but this will make it easier for you to share your code. I've tried to include some documentation to how the syntax works, but I can try to answer any questions you may have. Hopefully this will help reduce the number of people needing help using your code.
