Instead of cluttering up other threads with attempts at ascii art and formatting experiments that may not come out the way we expected, why not use this thread to both experiment with our techniques and relay tips to others?
December 20, 2008 9:02 pm at 9:02 pm #630396noitallmrParticipantWhats up?
December 21, 2008 1:02 am at 1:02 am #630397asdfghjklParticipantgreat idea for a thread!!!! professor mod 42 should be in here!!!!!!
December 21, 2008 1:56 am at 1:56 am #630398brooklyn19Participanti never even figured out how to italicize. never mind all this other fancy stuff.
December 21, 2008 2:06 am at 2:06 am #630399JosephParticipantitalicize:
first:
<
then:
em
then:
>
(no spaces)
where you want to end the italics, do the same as above, but instead of em, type /em
(to use bold, replace em with strong )
December 21, 2008 2:14 am at 2:14 am #630400brooklyn19Participantlike this???

December 21, 2008 2:27 am at 2:27 am #630406dont have internetMembercan s/o tell me what i keep doing wrong?
December 21, 2008 2:31 am at 2:31 am #630407brooklyn19Participantyeah you’re not following joseph’s instructions.
“<” then “em” then “>”
then type in your words
then “<” then “/em” then “>”
and you’re done!
December 21, 2008 2:32 am at 2:32 am #630408JosephParticipantDHI:
you need to put a > after your first em, and you need to put a </ before your second em
December 21, 2008 2:33 am at 2:33 am #630409JosephParticipantbrooklyn19, the day has just begun, the day is yet young…
December 21, 2008 2:35 am at 2:35 am #630410brooklyn19Participanti get what “strong” is supposed to mean. but what’s “em”?

December 21, 2008 2:40 am at 2:40 am #630413JosephParticipantICOT: How’d you manage to get your first line to show (with the code), that the code didn’t italicize it??
December 21, 2008 2:42 am at 2:42 am #630414brooklyn19Participantwhat are “ul” and “ol”? and while i’m at it, “li”?
December 21, 2008 2:42 am at 2:42 am #630415I can only tryMemberIgnore the “except for the first and last characters” portion of the above instructions.
The reason is not worth explaining, but if you’re interested it’s because the tick characters used to delimit the code didn’t appear in the instructions as I expected them to.

Since you asked, it is worth explaining – I posted my comment before yours appeared.

ul = underline (appears not to work properly)
ol = overline (appears not to work properly)
li = list (I just tried it – lets see how it works)
December 21, 2008 2:49 am at 2:49 am #630419dont have internetMemberyay! i did it!!!
December 21, 2008 2:52 am at 2:52 am #630420I can only tryMember“li” is REALLY not working properly.
Let’s see if a few closing tags fix it.

December 21, 2008 2:53 am at 2:53 am #630421brooklyn19Participant- i’m experimenting on ul

to figure out what they are…
December 21, 2008 2:55 am at 2:55 am #630422JosephParticipantICOT: I meant how are you able to get the CR to display your examples with the code included (normally it will strip the code prior to displaying it)?

Enclose the entire line within backticks (the character that looks like an apostrophe under the tilde).
The backticks don’t appear, but all text between them, including tags, do.
Suggestion: Let’s skip the
<li>
(list) tags, since they appear to thoroughly mangle any following posts on the page.December 21, 2008 3:10 am at 3:10 am #630428brooklyn19Participantlol not sure what i just did but something happened. oh well who cares anyway. anyone have anything interesting to say on any of the other threads? any new trivia questions? i’m really not in the mood to play monopoly with my family tonight…

Thank you for the correction.
For those who missed it:
UL = Unordered List (list formatted with bullet points)
OL = Ordered List (list formatted with numbers)

Thank you for the correction.

ICOT:
Your very welcome!
(And there is blockquote)

Tofasta meruba lo tafasta.
Wordpress only gives what they say they give.
Why not try combining font attributes with something they allow – e.g. blockquote?
December 21, 2008 5:13 am at 5:13 am #630441JosephParticipantICOT:
The CR forums are actually using bbPress, not WordPress (though both come from the same company.) WordPress itself allows most html code to be used (including the main YWN site.)

Once again, thank you for the info/correction.
Looking at the source for this page, I see “unapproved” tags have the <> replaced by amp+gt and amp+lt, so I’m wondering if font info is embedded within approved tags, would that be processed as code?
December 21, 2008 5:45 am at 5:45 am #630443dont have internetMemberjoseph-how do u know this stuff?
