Let’s see what happens if I want both FTX formatting and plain text, so’s I know how to write things that I would normally put in curly braces or square brackets or underlined or whatnot. And while we’re at it, let’s see what in the world “computer words” means.

Now, normally (and this happens a lot [like right now]) I can do that. How bout now?

#!/usr/bin/perl

for($i=0;$i<@ARGV;$i++) { print $ARGV[$i]; } print “hi” if($some\other_variable =~ /foo\woo|bar|yuk/\); print “<strong>Test</strong\>\n”;

How come backslash-greater-than shows up once as just a greater-than, but once as an actual backslash-greater-than? And how come all the Perl was on 1 line? Why is this on one line?

I bet this won’t be on 1 line. yep. What happens if I make a bulletted list?

This is a list of some bullets: - a bullet that makes sense - a bullet that’s dumb - one that’s convincing - and one that is sorta useless - all on one line?

Oh my. Yep. That’d be annoying. Good thing plain text is the default. I wonder how this all shows up in NNTP & SMTP...

Oh yeah. Let’s test colors

More colors
Rainbow yet?
How bout now?
Do these cycle?
What if I skip a few?
Interesting...
Normal again

What if we get that crazy junk that some people get who don’t trim their responses?

Well, that’s a
  
  
  
  
  
  
   good point, but how about if my uncle were a pretzel?

Fortunately, I don’t think he’s a pretzel, but I’ll ask him. But • for now, I’m happy that he’s not drunk.

But we can sequester them indefinitely
More text

Hmm... that’s about all I can think to test at the moment. Hmm...

(...) Oooo, yeah, and the 'brief' format doesn't seem to work with FTX formatting... Hmm... another enhancement seems to be that I now can't submit this owing to the fact that most of it is quotes. A nice feature, I suppose-- however occasionally (...) (21 years ago, 28-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.test, FTX)
