 | | Re: markup syntax for member pages
|
| (...) Whoops -- ambiguity alert again... Darn it, when will I learn to write?! By "it" in "if it fit in nicely," I meant whatever markup is chosen for member-pages, not the one mentioned three nodes up on the thread. (Darn antecedents! :-) --Todd (25 years ago, 5-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
| | | | | Re: markup syntax for member pages
|
| (...) Huh?! Why? It's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen! A single character in column 1 to modify the entire line? That's somewhat intuitive for *, ], and >, but for b and i and c it's pathetic. (...) Chell specking would be fun. Anyway, it (...)

| | | | | Re: markup syntax for member pages
|
| (...) Reconsider not considering it. And add spell checking as well. To those of you who read my posts, spellchecking would be a welcome relief (you don't need to search Dejanews for proof). And I'd love to be able to format text in posts to LUGNET. (25 years ago, 5-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
| | | | | Re: markup syntax for member pages

| (...) Hmm, interesting, I just sort-of half-randomly stumbled onto yet another markup format... It goes like this: You type text as paragraphs separated by blank lines, and you put special characters in column 1 if you want to do something special (...)

| | | | | Re: Digital Photography
|
| (...) Hrmmm.... do you mean digital video? Dunno about that, but digital still cameras surpassed 640x480 a LONG time ago. (25 years ago, 30-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
| | | | | Re: Digital Photography
|
| (...) Wow -- I wonder if their technology 18 years ago was up to par with the digital video cameras on the market today? Knowing the tricks Sony can pull, I suspect it probably was. Anyone know the story on higher-res (> 640x480x24bit) digital (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jun-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| | | | | Traffic icon and link
|
| (...) OK, there's now a little honeycomb-dots icon thingy for the top bar -- it says "Traffic" beneath the icon, and it takes you to the /news/traffic/ page. It automatigically appears at the top of any of the newer pages in the system (that is, (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.general)
| | | | | Text::Query
|
| (...) No, it's using a homebrew. I probably should look into Text::Query though, if it's loaded with callbacks and/or easy member-function overloading. What I threw together isn't very smart about word roots, and it isn't very fast either. But it (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jun-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Espcially, in that you can construct query strings approaching the usefulness of boolean algebra, but with a less wordy syntax. I noticed (1) that (...)
