Yo, Lindy November 17, 2012 8:16 pm ER

I left you this msg elsewhere, but I figure you’re more likely to see it here.

To insert a link into a post, try this

?a href=”URL goes here”!text goes here?/a!

Note: the url is bracketed by quotation marks, the text msg is not.

except replace each ? with a “less than” symbol (the left-pointing rivet) and each ! with a “greater than” symbol (right-pointing rivet)

I had to use the question mark(?) and bang(!) as symbols to represent the rivets. (The little arrowheads representing GT and LT).

The LT rivet is the upper case of the comma key, the GT rivet is the upper case of the period key. They point left and right, respectively.

I couldn’t just show you an example outright because all you’d see would be the words “text goes here” underlined. And I can’t show you a rivet here because the editor would interpret it as a command delimiter, not a typgraphical character.

It is a characteristic of all information processing (probably related to Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem) that there will always be ambiguity between a thing and its name.
