Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition!
—Our chief weapon is surprise—surprise and items of general interest:
- Daria fan IOXMO turns twenty-one, as reported by Deref.
- Wouter Jaeggers inquires about musicians that Daria fans now or ever had crushes on.
- Ranger Thorne is giving up moderator duties at the PPMB, and Kara Wild solicits applications for his successor.
- Vladimir1 gives an example of how to correctly code URLs that include punctuation in BBCode.
—All right—two weapons: surprise and items of general interest—
—'ats not two, it's five!
—No no—you see, it's the items of general interest that are the second weapon, but they change from time to time—
—Sod off! 'e ain't even got to fan fiction at the Sh33p's Fluff yet!
—Ah! I've always wondered how you pronounce '33'...
—That's right! Our two weapsons are surprise, items of general interest and new and updated fan fiction at the Sh33p's Fluff Message Board:
- Napalm Kracken posted “Daria vs. Jane,” described as a ‘Red vs. Blue style spoof.
- The Angst Guy posted a link to his updated short story “Scarlett.”
- Mistress Thea Zara posted bit two of “Protecting the Line.” Psychotol added part two to “Living Dead Girls 6.”
—All right—our three weapons are surprise, items of general interest, new and updated fan fiction at the Sh33p's Fluff Message Board, new and updated fan fiction at the Paperpusher's Message Board—wait—among our—I mean amongst our weapons—sorry, why don't I just come in again...
Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquistion!
—That's not right!
—What do you mean it's not right?
—I mean the heading was just enclosed in <h2> tags. 'Ere you've got <i> tags inside a pair of <h3> tags.
—What bloody difference does it make?
—Well, I mean if you wanted to start over, you should use the same heading tag, yeah?
—Look, I didn't expect a bloody HTML tutorial—
HTML Tutorial: Use <ul> for Unordered Lists
Although the entity • may be used to introduce items in a bulleted list, using the <ul>...</ul> tags to create a block-level unordered list and <li>...</li> to enclose each element in the list indicates the logical structure of the list, and shows the semantic role it plays in the document.
Example:
New and updated fan fiction at the Paperpusher's Message Board:
- Richard Lobinske started “John Lane 19: Retouched Parents.”
- Gregor Samsa completed “The Rime of the Auntcient Mariner.”
- Roentgen set down the framework for an untitled multi-author story in a thread titled “Thought Exercise—Multitask.” Of the twenty-five sections put down, seven have been claimed so far.
Here, the list is coded as follows:
<ul>
<li>Richard Lobinske started <a href="http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13497">“John Lane 19: Retouched Parents.”</a></li>
...
</ul>
Note that some blogging tools will turn carriage returns into <br /> tags, so lists like the one above will have to be run together on a single line.
