This forum’s BBcode is largely undocumented, and inconsistent with documentation found by searching the Web. Worse: The CSS between the preview page is slightly inconsistent with the CSS applied to posts. This sometimes causes posts that look fine in preview to break horribly when they go live.
I just wasted most of the time that I had intended for writing a post, futilely attempting to debug a table layout issue in a preview page—with results that may not even work! I have therefore decided to
raise the quality of Off-topic forum discussion......by making a thread for sandbox experimentation!
Local rules:You may make at most ONE post in this thread (unless a discussion of BBcode begins here).
I will nuke on sight anything that even remotely smells like sigspam or post-count bumping. If you are wearing a paid signature, I will probably delete your post unless you have a high reputation and a solid post history.
Some users are categorically banned from my self-moderated threads. You know who you are. Don’t try it here.
At any time, I may delete ALL posts in this thread and/or lock the topic. It is like testnet. Stuff may disappear. Don’t rely on it.
(If you are a high-quality poster, I will probably leave your post alone so that you can experiment in the future by edits without bumping the topic.)
