Does anybody know if there's a way to make a textual tooltip like with "<abbr></abbr>" on MyOpera - other than messing with the Markdown links syntax («[shown text]( "the-tooltip")» - which outputs like a link with the URL to the thread you post in)?

There are some emoticons in the UNICODE standard now, but then again the forum has smilies too ...

Oh ok I see now from my PC, my phone has rendered the unicode smiley with the (Android KitKat) emoji graphics.

Just found a tip:

The <abbr title="World Health Organization">WHO</abbr> was founded in 1948.

(Still it doesn't highlight anyhow - as to "hover me pleeeeeeeeeeease!":)
Who knows how to make such a tooltip under a forum smilie?

Headings & paragraphs

<p>WWF's goal is to:
<q>Build a future where people live in harmony with nature.</q>
We hope they succeed.

Note: Browsers insert quotation marks around the q element.

Both heading tags and paragraph ones work here.
Tried "code", "pre", "kbd", "samp", "var" and "q" - not working.

The "`

`" tag seems to be working here:

Computer code

Keyboard input

<samp>Sample text</samp>

<var>Computer variable</var>

...somehow...![](http://i.imgur.com/26cz795.png)

Just found out about 2 things:

1. CSS ain't working here :faint:

2. When you use HTML in your post, local Markdown marking ain't working within the elements (shown as plain keyboard input - like "**proper**" instead of "proper").

Ahem!

What about those supposed "Markdown" "numbered lists"???

The above post as if contains such one - but the item numbers ain't shown altogether...
Let me try this:

blabla

blablabla

(those were "#" lines - what the hell?)

I humbly propose we could either change the kit to something else - WORKING - or maybe do something about the existing one? Uh? :doh:

The leading hash mark was treated as identifying a header, you have to use actual numbers. Having said that, I've never had much luck with lists ...

Now on Firefox, I can see the numbers!
Why didn't I with Chrome?

Lists?

Ahemmmm...

• First item
• Second item

A "bulleted" list with asterisks...

May I try a list, too?

• Item one (dash space)

• Item two the same

• Item three same with empty line before

^ Only the first one has a bullet in my Opera Dev25. Can anyone confirm?

Yes, but would you mind showing your input?

• Asterix space

• again, just in next line

• again with empty line before

• again with 2 empty lines

• and again with 3 lines before

Ok... have to wait 600 seconds... lets add dash-space lines:

• dash space just after the normal text line

• and in the next line

• with an empty line in between

• with 2 empty lines

• with three empty lines

• • dash space dash space, one empty line before.

• • asterisk space asterisk space, directly after the previous entry
• • asterisk space dash space. It's silly, I know.

• • dash space asterisk space. That's enough.

• dash space

• dash space again

• dash space with empty line

- dash space
- dash space again

- dash space with empty line

Yes, but would you mind showing your input?

Actually, it was just like the items are named. Let's see if this works with the (pre)...

Look at the html. All three lines get put into a (ul), but the first (li) has the text without an added (p). So the (p)aragraph removes the bullet?

Testing again, this is normal text.

• star space following in newline

• star space following

• star space after an empty line

• star space following

• star space following

Normal text again, following an empty line.

• dash space after an empty line

• dash space following

• dash space after an empty line

• dash space after an empty line

Now, all of the above in pre:

Testing again, this is normal text.
* star space following in newline 
* star space following

* star space after an empty line 
* star space following
* star space following

Normal text again, following an empty line.

- dash space after an empty line
- dash space following

- dash space after an empty line

- dash space after an empty line

Now it removes something from pre???? The stars and dashes are in the "pre" when I edit the comment, but only the first two survive.
