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

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

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
one denotes a forwarded message using greater than symbols; like, say if I
received a message from Lego (like from Jake, say) that he wanted and/or didn’t
mind it getting posted to the web. I suppose that I’d have to denote it
otherwise, which isn’t all that much bother. Interesting, though. And I’ve got
to wonder what the turnaround time will be for things like that when not using
the web interface. If someone submits something via SMTP or NNTP, do they get an
email notification that it can’t be posted in lieu of the typical authentication
email? Is there a quickie way provided to trim extraneous quotes, like a web
form containing the post in a big ol’ text box? SMTP probably isn’t a problem
since most (if not all) mail readers keep track of sent mail, but what about
NNTP? I suppose it would have to be provided in some sort of web format, or (I
suppose) in the email notification so you could actually edit the message there?
How am I doing text wise? I still want text to avoid the 45% response rule, just
to see what happens with the other stuff above when it’s changed to have the
greater-than’s in front of each line. Speaking of which... hm... I wonder what
happens if FTX code gets too close to the line wrap in a ‘history’ area? for
most it probably won’t matter.. but that’ll have to wait for later, I suppose.
