It was not. However you now need to make sure you check the "Use HTML" box if you want to use HTML code. If you do not, your HTML will be displayed. The change was made to fix the problems with people pasting " charcaters. SOrry fot the inconvenience.

Scott, I just went back to look at your post and you also forgot the closing " on your "A" tag. I fixed the post for you

So you are saying that we can now embed "a tag" in the text and it will show up?

Just testing :-)

This has nothing to do with this board, but the whole thing with embedding codes to generate html reminds of ye' ancient DOS days. That's the kind of stuff I used to have to do with PC-Write. Jeez! What's that saying? - "eight steps forward, seven steps backwards", or the farther I go, the further behind I get.

But you must now use FULL HTML - including the "br""br" tags at the end of every paragraph. No more partial HTML just to highlight one thing.

The biggest problem with this is remembering to click the Use HTML box before sending the message. Basically, this means it will now be a rare thing to see colors, italics, etc. in any of my posts. I've already messed up two posts tonight.

Cal,

I am with you there. Seems we will have more messed up posts now then before, but I guess I see Lenny's point.

An after I almost got the hang of this :(

Peter, the more things change the more things stay the same. Embedding special characters and 'delimiters' has remained the most useful method for handling special text formatting needs. Word and WordPerfect do it, also, but it's handled behind the scenes so you don't see it. Extensions to HTML found in XML lean on the technique even more heavily. -- tom

OK, looks like I have it fixed. Now with HTML enabled, you do not need to add "BR" or "P" tags to create new lines, a carriage return is enough.

As for remembering to check the HTML box, that one has gotten me a couple of times too. I will look at having the new posts scanned for potential HTML if you did ot check the box and give you a remonder to turn it on or the code will be displayed as-is instead of interpreted. I can't spend any time on it today, but I will try to do it this weekend.
