@Ian_Chimp - I know. Caterpillars are like tiny poop machines.

I went with worm because I could at least pretend I have one of those Gummi worms in my mouth insteadā€¦ albeit a bit more lively :sweat_smile:

They are not the same texture. At all. :slightly_smiling_face:

(@KinkyInky Iā€™ve replied in the Sandbox so I donā€™t derail Cassiiā€™s topic :slightly_smiling_face:)

If you like to play with the formatting then this is the topic for you. You can have a no-pressure practice of pretty much anything you fancy in here. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

There are also a few extra tips in Bonus Formatting too. :+1:

Oooh thanks - so many options in here! Of all the many forum architectures Iā€™ve seen over the years, this is something different with lots of interesting options! Iā€™m disappointed thereā€™s no scrollable topic list to the side of the page, but very few forums use that these days!

There are a few ways to do it, but the simplest is just highlighting an extract and a little floating QUOTE box will show up. Tap that and itā€™ll auto fill all the bits into your reply box. :+1:

Feel free to have a practice in here. :slightly_smiling_face:

Perfect :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

It seems you can nest the <small> tags to go diddy. :slightly_smiling_face:

Natureā€™s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafā€™s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

I think Iā€™ll need hawk eyes to read that small :joy:

Doesnā€™t seem to work for big though, at least not for me!

No, the internet said it would work, but it doesnā€™t seem to on here. :man_shrugging:

@Ian_Chimp Sorry, been busy, busy. This is the source code for my question number 10 in the quiz:


10. P &nbsp;  Ć”  &nbsp; ci &nbsp; ? = <big>J</big> <small>a</small>!
      1 &emsp; &nbsp; 100

All three of the methods I know for different sizes spaces seen to work so thatā€™s good :+1:t2:

I this en is two spaces em is four spaces but nb is the one I use by defaultā€¦ I have no idea what these letters stand for but they seem to work. I only used two different ones in the question text to see if it worked.

Ah, okay. I knew nbsp (Non-Breaking Space), but the others are new to me. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

After a bit of digging:

  • ensp is N-space
  • emsp is M-space

And there are also:

  • thinsp is thin space
  • hairsp is hair space
  • mdash is M dash
  • ndash is N dash

Letā€™s see if any of those work. :slightly_smiling_face:
