Just trying out some HTML tags and character entities to see how they turn out in forum postings so I can better express myself in the future.
(OK, I just looked up in the editing window and saw for the first time that it provides a GUI for most of this stuff, but I already typed up my test file and the GUI does not provide character entities, so I'm forging ahead...)
First, some plain characters...
Here is a single quote: '
Here is a double quote: "
Here is a left angle bracket: <
Here is a right angle bracket: >
The line above should mention a right angle, if not then it got swallowed between two angle brackets, which is in keeping with HTML.
Here is a left square bracket: [
Here is a right square bracket: ]
Next, some HTML tags...
The following should be underlined bold italic: underlined bold italic
The following text is enclosed between "font" tagsFont size=4
The following text is enclosed between "big" tags: Big
Here is an anchor (but no href, so it doesn't link anywhere): anchor
The following five lines of text are enclosed between "code" tags:
Begin Code
Indented four spaces
Indented eight spaces
Indented four spaces
End Code
Here is a horizontal rule:
(I'm not going to try images, lists, or tables , although lists & tables might come in useful some time.)
Now let's try that again with "IFCode shortcuts" (like HTML tags only between square brackets)...
The following should be underlined bold italic: underlined bold italic
The following text is enclosed between "font" tags[font size="4"]Font size=4[/font]
The following text is enclosed between "big" tags: [big]Big[/big]
Here is an anchor (but no href, so it doesn't link anywhere): [a]anchor[/a]
The following five lines of text are enclosed between "code" tags:
Begin Code
Indented four spaces
Indented eight spaces
Indented four spaces
End Code
Here is a quotation: Quotation
Here is a horizontal rule:
Finally, some HTML character entities...
Here is a left angle bracket: <
Here is a right angle bracket: >
Here is an mdash: —
Here is an ndash: –
Non-breaking space between 2 numbers: one one
Non-breaking spaces between 2 numbers: two two
Non-breaking spaces between 2 numbers: three three
Non-breaking spaces between 2 numbers: four four
So you know who to blame for this mess:

Another test of HTML tags in forum messages...
The following is enclosed between HTML "pre" tags:
Weight Nested Procedure
1 TrialProc
1 StimList TrialProc
The following is enclosed between HTML "plaintext" tags:
Weight Nested Procedure
1 TrialProc
1 StimList TrialProc
Just me making another mess here,

| Wow, that last little test really broke something in the forum posting system, perhaps a forum admin will clean that up or delete it. Let's see if this one works.
