[v0.9.7f] Using Incorrect Color Name in Color nTag Produces Garbage Output

I had just reached my 1000th post in the forums, so I decided to edit my message to include this:

code

[color=grey][size=1][b]EDIT:[/b] It appears that this was my thousandth post. [size=4]YAY![/size][/size][/color]

For some reason, no matter what I do anywhere I post this in the forums, it turns into this:

{color=grey}EDIT: It appears that this was my thousandth post. YAY!

It's been very annoying.

Its normal.
gray is spelt with an A

It also happens with hex codes without the #.

I believe you want to spell it "gray" instead of "grey".

Closed as bad bugged.

EDIT: Woah 30 mins late!

A very small thing:

"Gray" and "Grey" are the same thing. It's just one letter that changes depending on where you are: If you are in the US and Canada, then it's "Gray", and if you are in the UK it's "grey".

Not sure about the order, but I do know the spelling changes depending on the places.
[/not related to the bug, but it is never too late for some weird culture

re: [v0.9.7f] Using Incorrect Color Name in Color nTag Produces Garbage Output

You are absolutely right Verm, but its not acceptable to use that as a color name in coding:

quote
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has listed 16 valid color names for HTML and CSS:

aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow.

Haha, so it's now more of a typo bug.
Perhaps both grey and gray should be acceptable? If it means much, Wikipedia redirects "gray" to the article titled "grey."

re: [v0.9.7f] Using Incorrect Color Name in Color nTag Produces Garbage Output

Well as I said, only gray is acceptable for a color in the web world. When you type:

code

[color=gray]Text[/color]

It turns it into:

code

<span style="color: gray;">Text</span>

If you really wish to type with an e, please make a suggestion for it. Thanks.

This is still a bug regardless.

Technically it would be "colour=grey" in British English

I'm all for the idea of making both acceptable. It's a relatively easy edit, right?

I'm not entirely sure whether that'd be doable, but the curly braces shouldn't appear.

Yeah, I think it happens with all invalid colors.
