How did vb.org do HR bbcode?

Correct. XHTML.

Well it would be much more helpful if you had just said so, instead of expecting me to spend time trying to spot the difference ......

Shouldn't take more than a few seconds lol

It doesn't work for me unless I write:

This is over [hr'] whatever [/hr'] This is under.

Is there a way to make the forum software understand that I'm not interested in having to write junk text and a closing tag?
The ordinary HTML only has one tag for HR, and that's <hr>... no closing tag required.

Actually, in XHTML 1.0 and onwards, it's <hr /> and technically the validators consider <hr>Text</hr> valid XHTML as well. I personally just did the replacement for my version as <hr /><p>{param}</p>, and asked them to put the text to go under the horizontal line between the tags.

You left out the ' ?

If you use this code ->

i think you should put between the tags a "COLOR" like red or green => [hr ]red[/hr ]

It would be better if it should just use a default colour if nothing is put in between. Also yeah a default character for the middle would be good.

I don't want the "extras" implemented.

I just want one tag, [hr] to translate to <hr> without the need to have a closing tag. If I write <hr> in the most basic HTML page you can think of, then you get a default Horizontal Rule. That's what I want. Nothing more, nothing less.

vBulletin doesn't work without a closing tag -> if you use bbCode, you always have to close the tags.

i myself use this code:

<hr color="gray" width="{option}" size="1" />

so users can diced, how long the line shuold be (in percent)!
