backslashes missing
Authored by: hayne on Jun 12, '03 02:34:40PM

It's really frustrating to enter code in these comments since the Preview lies through it's teeth about what will be shown.
In the above script that I posted, there are missing backslashes in several places:
- before each of the 4 d's in the pattern
- before the n's in two of the print statements

Use the special tags...

Set the mode to html and then write your code like this:
[code]
some <examples> of code \ and \ backslashes
[/code]
Then when you hit publish, everything will be retained. This will not work if you use "pre" or "tt" tags! And yes, they are SQUARE brackets around "code," not angle brackets. I need to add the instructions to the comment posting page; they are already on the story posting page...
