Tseting my ability to spell.
Hi, been lurking for about a month and thought I would try out a “Guest” membership and test the waters. Just posting here to make sure I know what I’m doing. Carry on…
Hey, Princess Ozma – welcome to the Dope!
But please, don’t just dip your[sub]toes[/sub] into the[sup]water[/sup]; dive [sup]right[/sup] on[sub]in[/sub]!!
Oh, sorry; I just[sup]discovered[/sup] how to [sub]do[/sub] [sup]super[/sup]scripts and [sub]sub[/sub]scripts. 
Thanks for the welcome EddyTeddyFreddy
(btw…Well done on the scripts)
Well, while we’re at it…and because it is now frowned upon to start whole threads…and because I blew right by 500 without noticing…
Post #600.
Yeah, I did the same thing with my 1,000[sup]th[/sup] post the other day. :smack:
Oh well…post #1,060.
[sub]as well as testing super- and sub-script.[/sub]
just joining all the testing. I have no idea what php tags are so....
so it’s like a quote box, but it turns the text blue? ummm… interesting.
testing indent [list=a]
[li]testing[/li][li]alphabetical[/li][li]list[/li][li]Cool![/li][/list]
Okay, let’s see…Okay, let’s see… How about this…
Is this an indent?

[li]bullet[/li][li]list[/li][li]is[/li][li]easy![/li][/ul]
What the heck is this?
Will I get blue text too?
Hey, I was just thinking…
Let’s see if I can take smilies and superscript[sup]:eek:[/sup] and subscript[sub]:D:[/sub] them.
COOL!!
Follow the bouncing smilie:
[sub] 
[/sub] [sup] :eek: [/sup] [sub] 
[/sub] [sup] [/sup][sub] :o [/sub] [sup] 
[/sup] [sub] :rolleyes: [/sub] [sup] :wally [/sup]
WAY COOL!!!
First we look at the code tag. It puts the contents into a fixed-width font and prevents further vB code evaluation inside the box, which is useful for posting computer code. Like thus:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <math.h>
#define Pi 3.14159265358979323846
main(int argc, char *argv[]){
printf("Hello, World
");
return(0);
}
(in case you’re wondering, that’s a C program, starting off the way most of my programs start off, but with a filler body).
Well, the php tag is a special case of the code tag. php is the language in which this message board was written, so the programmers naturally consider php to be a fairly important sort of computer code. So they made a special version of the code tag which would color-code different parts of a php program, according to what they do. I don’t personally know php, but I suspect that at least a few of the following will show up in different colors:
do
for
next
until
if
then
else
while
not
true
false
foo
bar
