I have both capitals in this line From **Poster A[\B]'s.

Here’s a copy and paste with the removed. From B Poster A \B’s

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

It’ll usually be the hypogryphical constraint vector. Or maybe not.

I capitalized to match the capitals of Test Post. T cap means first B cap, P cap means second B cap. Small t and p mean small b. Final was using bold tool. Blocked in noparse tags.

More information, if I remove just the first square bracket, I get a capital B.

Placing it in CODE, it also goes back to lower case b.

May I ask why you need the capital B? The lowercase one works just as well. See?

This appears to be a vB thing, where the bold tag is parsed lowercase. Don’t know why, or why it is displayed uppercase in the edit window (when using the bold button).

Bingo! You are using the wrong slash mark. Use / rather than \ and it will parse as bold. \ isn’t recognized as the end stop for the bold.

(I didn’t spot that at first. I thought you were using noparse tags, like I did. No, you were using the wrong symbol and so it wasn’t parsing in the first place.)

:smack:

Thank you so much! I didn’t even notice that, no idea why it converted my capital B to a lower case b.

I didn’t, I just thought it was the problem because it wasn’t what I typed. My apologies, and thank you all for the help.
