Textify 2.1 is the latest revision of the gradient BBCode text tool. Originally designed for Gaia Online, it caught on wildly with other online forums as well, resulting in this rewrite. This is a ground-up rewrite, and is using 100% javascript now. A simple View Source can get you everything you need!

How to Use This Tool: Enter your text in the top box, and build your gradient using the "add point" option. Click "Convert" to get BBCode, or toggle between a preview and HTML output. If you find a gradient you like, you can click "Save Gradient" to get some text to save for loading your gradient next time.
