Why don't the linkies work? I used this URL: http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm

Weird. Can you fix it?

Can we also remind people that standard style for quoting is to quote the post you are replying to in italics and your comments in non-italicized text.

I think it is good to follow style
I could not agree more!

Or have we given up on that one...

And does anyone remember when you had to remember to switch of the HTML bold command or every post following would also be in bold?

Finally, HTML sandbox is where I first learned HTML. Anyone else learn it here also?

Wow. Thanks.

Just googling for an image from any site to post can cause problems. Some sites will block hot links while other you will get a notice about stealing bandwidth instead of the picture. I having never seen it happen but have been told some sites especially blogs will change the image to something that could get you banned when they find hot links.

Bulleted or Numbered Lists

There are two types of lists: Unordered and Ordered.

An "Unordered List" command, <ul>, will set the start of a list that is indented two characters, with items started by a bullet. Like this

• Item one
• Item two
• Item three

An "Ordered List" command, <ol>, will start the list indented one character, with each item numbered in order.

1. Item one
2. Item two
3. Item three

Mark each line of either list type by preceding the line with a "List Item" command: <li>

<li> This is the first item in my list
<lt> This is the second item in my list

Depending on the list type this results in either:

• This is the first item in my list
• This is the second item in my list

or:

1. This is the first item in my list
2. This is the second item in my list

Different ways of listing Ordered Lists

In addition to using numbers to lead your lists, you can also use both upper and lower case letters.

If you want your "Ordered List" to be preceded by upper case "Alphabetic Characters" instead of numerals, define your list type like this <ol type="A">.

This results in a list looking like this:

1. This is the first item in my list
2. This is the second item in my list

If you want your list preceded by lower case letters, use a lower case "a" like this <ol type="a">.

This results in a list looking like this:

1. This is the first item in my list
2. This is the second item in my list

You must complete the list with the off switch </ul> for unordered lists or </ol> for ordered lists.

Types of Unordered Lists

You can use three different leading bullets in an Unordered List: Disk (the default), Circle, or Square.

Defining the type of an "Unordered List" is done like this <ul type="disk">

This makes a list with the default round, filled in bullet looking like this:

• This is the first item in my list
• This is the second item in my list

Using a type like this <ul type="circle">.

This results in a list looking like this:

• This is the first item in my list
• This is the second item in my list

And finally, using a type like this <ul type="square">.

This results in a list looking like this:

• This is the first item in my list
• This is the second item in my list

This can get complex with using nested listings:

<ul>
<li>This is the first main item in my list
<li>This is a second main item in my list
<ul>
<li>This is the first sub-item in my list
<li>This is the second sub-item in my list
</ul>
</li>
<li>This is the third main item in my list
</ul>

Results in a "Nested List"

• This is the first main item in my list
• this is the second main item in my list
  • This is the first sub-item in my list
  • This is the second sub-item in my list
• This is the third main item in my list

Note: the default "Unordered List" with a disk bullet does not require the <ul> command on FreeRepublic, you can start a list at any time merely by preceding the first item with <li> but you are required to end the list with a proper </ul> before you continue entering your comment.

Testing

[ThePythonicCow]

Quotation Marks Quotes have to be used around the URLs for web pages and images on Free Republic. Some systems do not require this. Ours does.

From what I can tell, users do not need to use quotation marks around URLs. It seems that the posting software here automatically adds them.

So, from the users point of view, I don't think they are required.
