Thank you!

You passed the test. 
It’s the little things that brighten a day.

Pivoting to this now… for @bobot here, Test Thread - #24 by bobot
@bobot it’s only been 5 years since you asked. I did not answer, it seems. Yes that was a very good series. Back to back, Bosox and ChiSox in 2004 and 2005.
But no I’m a Giants fan and was focusing on the 2010 2012 2014 series.
Assuming you’re a ChiSox fan do you remember the 1997 Giants - White Sox trade? I remember it as the “GiSox”, the Giants’ nickname that season, but wiki has it as the White Flag Trade.
At the trade deadline the White Sox were only 3½ games behind Cleveland. Jerry Reinsdorf defended the trade, saying that “anyone who thinks we can catch Cleveland is crazy”.
Stupid.
The White Sox ended the season just 6 games behind Cleveland.
In the trade the White Sox traded away:
• Wilson Álvarez, left-handed starting pitcher
• Danny Darwin, right-handed starting pitcher
• Roberto Hernández, right-handed relief pitcher
I couldn’t believe our good fortune!
The Giants traded away:
• Keith Foulke, right-handed pitcher
• Bob Howry, right-handed pitcher
• Lorenzo Barceló, right-handed pitcher
• Ken Vining, left-handed pitcher
• Mike Caruso, shortstop
• Brian Manning, outfielder
And the Giants won the division for the first time in several years.
It was great! (for me)

I’m looking to post a table in a new thread, and while I found one great example, I have no idea how to format it or set it up in Discourse. @What_Exit, can you help?
Tripler
I think it’s a nifty feature.
Try copying the table from the source, ensuring you get just the table and nothing extra. When you paste it into the post, it will usually auto-format.
Plagiarizing. . . like so?
| Col A | Col B | Col B |
|---|---|---|
| Cell A1 | Cell A2 | Cell A3 |
| Cell A2 | Cell B2 | CellC2 |
ETA, hrm, maybe not. . .
Tripler
In my line of work, plagiarism is a form of flattery.
I would say Fair Use or in the case of the link you posted to, it was a table from a Federal Site and so pretty much Public Domain. Probably another term, but IANAL.
So if you include a line like | — | — | — | — | — | as the second line, it helps format that table. Match the columns of course.
Oh, I meant to say “plagiarizing your table,” but I see now you’d cut’n’pasted from another website.

That’s the trick right there. . . thanks!
Tripler
Thank goodness for the ability to edit posts.
A very basic hand built table.
| a | b | c | d | e |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| a1 | b1 | c1 | d1 | e1 |
| a2 | b2 | c2 | d2 | e2 |
Pretty cool!
This text shows up red, on screen, in your original post. . . Howjadoo that?
ETA:Showns up as plain text in my submitted quote.
Tripler
The old “[color]” tags work now?
They don’t. This was used to make the color Red Text:
\color{red}{\text {Different Red Text}} $\color{red}{\text {Different Red Text}}$
Oh, thank you!
$\color{red}{\text {blah blah blah}}$\color{Olive}{\text {Tripler}}
\color{blue}{\text {Tying some new things}}
I haven’t been able to bold it, but being able to use colors is fun. 
\text{Here is some }\mathbf{bold}\text{ text.}
Not the easiest thing to do. MathJax doesn’t recognize TeX’s non-math formatting commands.
\text{And some }{\color{red}\mathbf{bold\ red}}\text{ text.}
Very cool.
What does that code look like?
