January 29, 2009 1:27 pm at 1:27 pm #589254I can only tryMember
Since there are still questions in some threads as to how formatting and ASCII art works, why not try out your various experiments in one place? Those who already know formatting techniques can share their knowledge with others.
I don’t have the time right now, but IY”H if someone else hasn’t already done so by tonight, I’ll b’n give examples of:
Allowed markup: a blockquote code em strong ul ol li.
You can also put code in between backtick ( ` ) characters.
…as well as ASCII art formatting.
January 29, 2009 6:29 pm at 6:29 pm #1053083moish01Memberhey, can’t we keep this ascii art between you, me, curious and not qwertyuiop? come on!
January 29, 2009 7:00 pm at 7:00 pm #1053084moish01Member…and you take pride in it…
January 29, 2009 7:04 pm at 7:04 pm #1053085moish01Memberhey moderator: can you change my post to say “now qwertyuiop” instead of “not qwertyuiop?” sorry – typo
January 29, 2009 10:42 pm at 10:42 pm #1053086moish01Membercan’t believe i lasted till now without exercising my artistic abilities…

January 29, 2009 11:37 pm at 11:37 pm #1053090areivimzehlazehParticipantmoish- you and Albus Dumbledore (howdya spell it?)
January 29, 2009 11:49 pm at 11:49 pm #1053092moish01Memberwhat does “code” do?
January 30, 2009 1:36 am at 1:36 am #1053094CuriousMembermoish – I have officialy retired. The CR artistry job is all yours. Do us proud!
January 30, 2009 1:59 am at 1:59 am #1053095coke not pepsiMembergee i wonder? curious y u didn’t nominate me 4 that job lol(check out my gorgeous last post lol)
January 30, 2009 2:01 am at 2:01 am #1053096JosephParticipantCurious – do you have a pension? are you moving into a retirement home?
January 30, 2009 2:04 am at 2:04 am #1053097CuriousMembercoke, I don’t think your fellow members would appreciate it 🙂
January 30, 2009 2:08 am at 2:08 am #1053098CuriousMemberJo – after reading the foodstamps thread, I was starting to reconsider my career.
My employer offers a great rtirement plan, 401K, etc. ….NOT!
January 30, 2009 2:09 am at 2:09 am #1053099squeakParticipantJoseph, unless YW doesn’t comply with FAS 158, I see no evidence of Curious having a pension.

January 30, 2009 2:15 am at 2:15 am #1053101I can only tryMemberLesson 1- the basics:
Each one of these is a HTML tag that is used to notify the browser that special formatting is needed. Most tags need to be used both before and after the text you want to mark, and two only need to be used before the text.
Here are brief descriptions of each tag, and samples of how they work:
Sample:
Sample:
<blockquote>This is a blockquote</blockquote>

<em>Italicized text</em>

<strong>Bold text</strong>

Let’s see how the above turns out.
Depending on if it’s OK or not, the next post will either attempt to correct errors, or go on to lesson 2.
January 30, 2009 2:18 am at 2:18 am #1053102qwertyuiopMemberCurious: you must keep your position as official CR artist.$
moish: i was quite insulted when i saw your first post, but now i feel all warm and fuzzy(that was for asdfghjkl), and i’ll make you something later, when i get a chance.$
January 30, 2009 2:20 am at 2:20 am #1053103teenMembercoke: what is that? modern art? 😛 im jk its gorgeous 😛
January 30, 2009 2:36 am at 2:36 am #1053104anonymisssParticipantUpon the retirement of curious, cr arist, moish will hereby be promoted to the position of cr artist. moish has previously served as adjunct artist to the cr. The chairpeople of the cr look forward to working with you.
Yours truly,

January 30, 2009 3:30 am at 3:30 am #1053109AnonymousInactiveAmazing artwork indeed-maybe we should alert the useum of Modern Art
January 30, 2009 3:32 am at 3:32 am #1053111CuriousMemberI think coke’s artwork will definitely get in to MOMA.
Moish’s artwork is too conservative. It just doesn’t pull the senses and encourage imagination.
January 30, 2009 3:33 am at 3:33 am #1053112asdfghjklParticipant- the cr is so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 30, 2009 3:36 am at 3:36 am #1053113asdfghjklParticipantoh well the last one didn’t work!!! i’m so happy this lab re-opened!!!
January 30, 2009 3:42 am at 3:42 am #1053114asdfghjklParticipantJanuary 30, 2009 3:42 am at 3:42 am #1053115I can only tryMemberLesson 1a – using quotes in the anchor tab causes the link to not work properly. Let’s try it without the quote marks:
Sample:
<a href=http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/the-laboratory-try-your-html-formatting-experiments-here>Original HTML Lab</a>
Apparently you had two quotes inside your tag in the previous post. I fixed it and also provided links within your lessons to the next parts. – YW Moderator-42
January 30, 2009 3:44 am at 3:44 am #1053116squeakParticipantCurious, not as a service (:
January 30, 2009 3:47 am at 3:47 am #1053117asdfghjklParticipant<blockqot>hello qwertyuiop!!!!!!!!</blockquot>
January 30, 2009 3:52 am at 3:52 am #1053118asdfghjklParticipantOH WELL THAT DIDN’T GO!!!!!
January 30, 2009 3:54 am at 3:54 am #1053119CuriousMemberas a favor?
January 30, 2009 3:56 am at 3:56 am #1053120teenMemberasdfghjkl: u forgot the e after the t in quote
blockquote
January 30, 2009 3:57 am at 3:57 am #1053121I can only tryMemberLesson 2 – fixed font vs. proportional font:
When trying ASCII art, a fixed-width font is needed. that means each character takes up the same width. Proportional fonts are more visually appealing on a letter, but wreck picture-drawing attempts.
1) Fixed-width vs. proportional:
a) Fixed width-
wwwwwwwww
iiiiiiiii
b) proportional-
wwwwwwwww
iiiiiiiii
Notice any difference in how the “i”s and “w”s line up?
Another problem with the default appearance of posts is that multiple spaces between words is truncated to one space.
a b c
becomes a b c.How can a fixed-width font be selected, and spaces be preserved?
Prefixing a backtick before the post, and appending another backtick at the end takes care of this.
January 30, 2009 3:58 am at 3:58 am #1053122beaconParticipantasdf- spelling… 🙂
January 30, 2009 3:58 am at 3:58 am #1053123squeakParticipantAbsolutely. I do it as a favor for many people. But I am not legally allowed to prepare it on your behalf, so you have to take responsibility for the accuracy.

hello asdfghjkl, try again and spell blockquote CORRECTLY.$
January 30, 2009 3:59 am at 3:59 am #1053125asdfghjklParticipantteen: thanx!!! i’ll atempt it again!!!!
<blockqote>hello qwertyuiop & teen!!!!!!!!
January 30, 2009 4:03 am at 4:03 am #1053126qwertyuiopMemberasdfghjkl: now you forgot the “u”, it’s spelled BLOCKQUOTE, get that straight.$
January 30, 2009 4:04 am at 4:04 am #1053127asdfghjklParticipantlol clearly spelling was never my thing!!!!!!
January 30, 2009 4:05 am at 4:05 am #1053128CuriousMemberNo prob, just tell me where to send my papers!!! 😉
I’ve tried several times to do it on my own. TurboTax babies me with the federal part, but then I get stuck with the state return. And end up having someone else do it for me. 🙁
Maybe I’ll try again this year and will pose all questions to the esteemed CR.
January 30, 2009 4:06 am at 4:06 am #1053129qwertyuiopMemberICOT: how come when the pge is like this, blockquote doesn’t work??$
asdfghjkl: my post just went upin 10 seconds, the mods are going so fast now.$
January 30, 2009 4:07 am at 4:07 am #1053130coke not pepsiMemberand u forgot the end blockquote thingy
January 30, 2009 4:07 am at 4:07 am #1053131I can only tryMemberLesson 2 (continued):
Look at the following three attempts at ASCII art.
The first will not use any tricks to preserve spaces.
The second will preserve spaces, but use a proportional font.
The third will preserve spaces and use a fixed-font.
