Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 6:09 pm Post subject: Angle brackets |
|
|
I typed this in:
r9c6=4 => r7c6=4, r3c6=7 => r3c9=4 => r3c3!=4 => r9c3=4
I used != instead of the usual angle brackets because if I use the angle brackets I get:
r9c6=4 => r7c6=4, r3c6=7 => r3c9=4 => r3c3<4> r9c3=4
which at least on my browser does not look correct. So, how do I get the angle brackets in there? |

I guess you're trying to say that r3c3 is unequal to 4, but it looks like you could say r3c3 = 6. But some here write r3c3<>4 to express the "unequal to" condition.
Nevertheless, I'd like to try to help, but I'm just not understanding exactly what symbols you're trying to show. |

I just want to make the <> show up!
If there are other brackets on the same line, text gets swallowed up. It is even getting swallowed inside a code block. I tried the standard < but that just printed those chars.
I figured it out by accident. If I disable HTML it works.
a<>b => c
Which I understand means "a is not b implies c" |

Compare that to this, which has html on:
a c |

Glad you figured it out. I know little about HTML, but I thought to get a bold "c", you needed to type:
<b>c</b)> |

You are correct, <b>c</b> makes a bold c. Phpbb is changing a<>b => c into a<b> c. |

this is late.
I have had this problem at times also and
I have heard of others who would type <> into the field only to see the text rearranged when posted.
not sure why it happens sometimes and not other times. I can only guess the HTML recognizes certain symbols to mean different things. |
