Not sure this is the right place for this, but I figure this might be as good a place as any since it would be useful to thos writing fiction.
Partly to keep my self in-practice at coding C#, and partly because I thought it might be useful, I've started working on a program which is basically a Rich Text Format editor which can export UBB code for dropping into posts. It will, eventually, also do Wiki-format exports, and possibly some others if the need arises.
Currently, it can load an RTF file (produceable with Wordpad, Word, OpenOffice, and various other editors), allow some editing, and export to a UBB text file. I haven't actually implemented the RTF save function yet, though that's pretty simple and next on the list. It handles bold and italic text, and marks paragraphs by outputting two line breaks.
Does anyone have any bright ideas for useful things to add to this?
Would anyone like to try it out and do my debugging for me? If so, I'll see if I can put a distribution package together and find somewhere to host it.
Oh yes, it's called FWEd, Forum/Wiki Editor.

This sounds like an excellent little program.
As I write every forum post in MS Word or similar (i.e. my phone), it would certainly help me. Send it over on an email (obtained from personal web site noted below) when its ready and Ill have it locked and crashed in ten minutes.
