Irene Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I've just been replying to another thread and the system will now allow me to preview the reply! :0 It just throws me out of the reply and puts me out at the main menu.

andsome Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 It's not a facility that I find any use for. You can see what you have typed, so personally I cannot understand why you would need to see it in a different Window before posting. However, just to be of assistance I will try previewing this reply before I post it. P.S. A post preview appeared in a long line above the actual typing. I will now add reply.EDIT. That worked fine.P.S. I am assuming that when you said WILL NOW ALLOW as above, you actually meant WILL NOT ALLOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see what you have typed, so personally I cannot understand why you would need to see it in a different Window before posting.Just personal preference. :D I like to check that I think that what I have presented is 'reader friendly'. Nothing worse than a long string of print without meaningful spacing. Speaking of which, spacing that is, I do wish that WF would leave in my double space following a full stop. That is the correct way to present. It is a minor iritant to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the correct way to present. It is a minor iritant to me. That is not WF's doing; that is the behavior of HTML in general. White space is reduced to a single blank character.The exception is when you use No-break Space characters ( ) - these should be retained exactly as input. Unfortunately it is here where this forum interferes, and replaces al No-break Spaces by ordinary blanks.So, there is really nothing you can do about the double spaces after the full stop.

AlanHo Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I suppose you could cheat and use two full stops.. Like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting.. The HTML option on this reply page (lower down on the left) is set to off, so why does it still apply? I suppose you could cheat and use two full stops.. Like this.As you can see above, Alan, I've given your suggestion a try.. So for .. read, full stop! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 The HTML option on this reply page (lower down on the left) is set to off, so why does it still apply? Ah, but the final rendering is still in HTML, or in this case, the more advanced XHTML.The HTML posting option let's you post in HTML, as opposed to the forum-specific BBCode. But once a post is displayed, everything is converted to HTML. All websites on the entire Internet display in HTML.When you read this post, click 'View' on your browser's toolbar, then 'Page Source', you will see that everything is in beautiful HTML code. If you view your own post, you may even see the two blank characters you typed after the full stop, but once the HTML code is rendered, the blank characters are reduced to one.I was almost tempted to write "C'est la vie", but it's really "That's HTML".
