BBCode iFAQ (in-Frequently Asked Questions)
Ok - sometimes I want to do something a bit unusual with the Wrongplanet BBCode.
There is some BBCode documentation (here)
But it doesn't doesn't cover everything.
For example - how do you escape a square bracket? This works:
Displays as
[b]
Displays as
[b]
This is a place to post "BBCode in-Frequently Asked Questions" - and hopefully answers.

How do i insert a space at the beginning of a line?
One way is to insert a unicode U+2003. How to do this is specific to your device or your operating system. I just got it working on my iPhone using the UniK app / third party keyboard.

Question: A poster is annoying me, how can I get revenge?
Answer: Apply the fade and blur tags to your response. Congratulations, you have just given them a migraine!

←So does this (ALT + 255).
Looks like this:

This text is indented.
And you do not need the "CODE" command.
Cool - looked that one up:
ALT 255
No-break space, non-breaking space, nbsp
U+00A0
Should mention that the ALT (decimal digits) is a Microsoft Windows thing and doesn't work on iPhone or MacOS.
More details on alt codes and how to use them on Windows here:
https://altcodeunicode.com/
On MacOS unicode can be used with certain steps:
https://www.webnots.com/how-to-use-unic ... od-in-mac/
On iPhone the UniK (not free) keyboard can be added from the App Store
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questio ... the-iphone
As mentioned above Alt 255 is 00A0 in Unicode.

Android and Unicode:
Apparently on Android there is an app:
Character Pad - Unicode
Also PolyglotKeyboard or Keyman
3rd party on-screen-keyboards might help -
I am not an Android user so some Wrongplanet Android user might be able to give mode details.
Not all Android fonts support all Unicode Characters.
Android is usually programmed in Java and the Java default character type is a 16-bit unsigned integer - utf-16 might be used as the internal type? (Utf-8 uses 1 to 4 8-bit bytes per character. UTF-32 uses 32-bit characters.)

Another way to insert gaps at the beginning of a line is to use the [tab=xx] tag.
While...
[tab=100]Looks like this.

Bullet points can be cut and pasted from this stackoverflow post in to any post on wrongplanet (and combined with tab).

You can also use the HTML entity by using this web site:
● w3schools.com - HTML TryIt - Try HTML Intro
For example I can add the following code in the left pane . . .
. . . then use the "Run >" button.
I then see the "BLACK CIRCLE" Unicode Character in the right pane.
I can then cut it (from the right pane) and paste it into a WorngPlanet post.

Blast...
Below this post's edit window, as I typed it, I can see your posts - all displaying correctly.
As with yours - when I preview this post, the list below displays correctly -
- First
- Second
- Third
But it doesn't in the final post.
There's something weird going on above my pay grade - I'll let Alex know.
