So you can produce any of the 256x256x256 = 16,777,216 posible RGB colors. Of which 140 have well-known pre-defined HTML names per my cite upthread.
No point in further experiments on available colors; the answer is they’re all available.
What I see is different from what you describe. In LATEX the L is not subscripted and the A is not superscripted.

Hmmm - I was struggling to embed that earlier. For the record, I had tried adding/ to the url, then /2, /3, /4…(then I gave up). But it worked fine with just /
Odd

I prefer to call it a “misfire.”

Not quite a ‘dud’ though.
Testing article preview. Not a gift link.
Why Do So Many Women Wear Giant Eyeglasses?
Why aren’t article previews showing up anymore. They always have up to now.
Another test with WaPo

Okay, can somebody tell me what’s up?
I’m posting from my Android phone.
Looks like a Discourse bug. NYTimes is returning error code 403, which basically means they recognize the request but refuse to respond to it. Discourse has to access NYTimes to get the preview material (image and text snippet), but that’s failing.
Normally I’d say the bug is on the NYTimes side but with WaPo failing too, I wonder. Still, other sites seem to work:
Weird.
Here’s my attempt at a gift link from the same article.
Here’s just copying the URL from the page.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2024/09/28/jewish-high-holidays-recipes-brisket-kugel-challah/
Here’s a link to an article in The Atlantic
That one works.
Supposedly a gift link. A really grim article, BTW.
Maybe the NYTimes and WaPo don’t want people sharing links online. But this has been a fairly recent change…
For Discourse to construct the preview, the page at the news source has to respond with a lot of typical stuff and no sign of a paywall. Darn few sites do that anymore.
In principle, all that stuff should be in the HTML header and not subject to a paywall. Discourse’s preview is called “OneBox” and uses the oEmbed/OpenGraph standard. It puts metainformation in the header with names like “og:description”. And this is present in ThelmaLou’s link:
<meta data-rh="true" property="og:url" content="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/style/oversized-glasses-frames-women.html"/>
<meta data-rh="true" property="og:type" content="article"/>
<meta data-rh="true" property="og:title" content="Why Do So Many Women Wear Giant Eyeglasses?"/>
<meta data-rh="true" property="og:image" content="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2024/09/27/multimedia/27OPENTHREAD-gvfb/27OPENTHREAD-gvfb-facebookJumbo.jpg"/>
<meta data-rh="true" property="og:image:alt" content="Jenna Lyons arrived at her style of eyewear because she didn’t like the way more delicate designs sat on her face,"/>
<meta data-rh="true" property="og:description" content="A reader wonders why more women start opting for chunky frames at a certain age. Our fashion critic explains the appeal."/>
So it’s a mystery why this would stop working.
I’ll try this CNN article.
Yep, that worked.
The Atlantic link I posted above worked.
NYTimes & WaPo are the two sources I cite most often, using gift links, and it aggravates me that their previews have stopped working. I hope the gift links still work.
That didn’t work. never mind
Sorry for the weird, random notification W_E, I was trying to see if there’s a way to reply to a post in a past-tense dormant thread, but have it appear as a reply in a present-tense ongoing thread.
I believe your instructions above would work well if I was wanting to reply to a a post in a past-tense dormant thread, and start my own brand new thread - but that’s actually what I’m trying to avoid.
So what I did here is start a quote-reply of your post in the past-tense thread, copy the html code that pops up in the box, and then I navigated here to ATMB and pasted that html code into a brand new reply box.
ETA : Damn, looks like it worked. I’m reminded now of the story about the broken clock.
Interesting !
How do the “rounds” increment?
