Tere is a new tag motivated by this:

Here's how it looks without the brackets and words and the = sign and the slash sign. [highlight]I can't write them or it WORKS[/highlight]!! LOL

Spin Number, Number that came, win, loss
1,34,win,
2,14,,loss

Well, we should never have "can't" should we? so there is a new [escape] tag for explaining the use of other tags.

Its usage is simple, what you enclose between [escape] and [/escape] won't be processed by the forum's tag parsing engine.

This is what Sam wanted to display:

[escape][table=,]
Spin Number, Number that came, win, loss
1,34,win,
2,14,,loss
[/table]
[/escape]

As you can see [escape][table=,][/escape] tag wasn't parsed, it was escaped by using this:

[escape]
[escape][table=,]
Spin Number, Number that came, win, loss
1,34,win,
2,14,,loss
[/table][/escape]
[/escape]

Truly straightforward!

Now we can help each other at the forum with new tags' usage with ease.

Regards,
Victor

I see, via my browser, no iota of difference.

Then again, I can't get "preview" to work other than in PM's.

My machine at fault?

IE6  and a new - clean install on XP Home w/SP3

I do see the previews now but zero difference in the message above.   It is all plain text.
