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.

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)?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 codeKeyboard input
<samp>Sample text</samp>
<var>Computer variable</var>
...somehow... -

Just found out about 2 things:
-
CSS ain't working here :faint:
-
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:

Item one (dash space)
-
Item two the same
-
Item three same with empty line before

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

SNAFU, innit. These are copied from the Markdown link: A plus starts the line, then 3 spaces.
-
Candy. one empty line before
-
Gum. no empty line
-
Booze. no empty line
-
Candy. one empty line before
-
Gum. no empty line
-
Booze. no empty line
break: one empty line before

Candy. one empty line before

Booze. one empty line before
break: one empty line before
- Candy. one empty line before
- Gum. no empty line
- Booze. no empty line
test in between text
- dash space new list
- dash space
- dash space
two or more empty lines are treated the same as one empty line.
An empty line seems to start a new paragraph, which removes the bullet of that (li) but sometimes (always?) also of the previous (li)! You need an empty line to start the (ul). So the way to go is to use one empty line, then all your list items with stars or + or dash, but never with empty lines in between. If you want two lists, you need some normal text in between, with empty lines above and below. -
