Site problem with the character `

[coconParticipant]

Putting the character “grave” (where the tilde is but without pressing shift) breaks the formatting of messages.

This character is used mostly on monkeydoc to signify parameters.

 

 

Monkey

#rem monkeydoc Blends the vec3 with another vec3. Components are linearly blended using [crayon-5cba14d2dc18d414927890 inline="true" ]alpha

as a weighting factor. #end[/crayon]

Maybe using a backslash before your char will skip is markdown code.

Sometimes there are similar problems when formatting right inside forum’s add post area.

Sorry, but you guys’ll likely have to live with fun little site quirks like this until I can afford to get a ‘real’ web developer involved.

Sorry for becoming annoying, but if it would be possible for the character “grave accent” to be replaced with something else or be removed.

This is a call for unnecessary changes to the monkey2 documentation engine. Due to the weird and exotic nature of this character, as is it rarely used in both text and technology stuff, web programming folks decided to use it for hardcore website formatting purposes (such as github, online text editors, forum engines).

So this means following a javadoc style of commeting by using various parameters, such as:

Monkey

@param theVariable:Component The description of the variable which must be a component. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | description starts right after space | | | | | | | | | space changes parser state | | | | | | | mentioning the type is optional | | | | | name of the variable | | | space changes parser state | | | this is a parameter

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

Testing something…

X Escaping the character using the preformatted – by opening and closing double grave accent

√ Escaping the character ` inside a code html block

X Trying to insert the HTML character id inside the code tag (& # 9 6 <– these are joined, not spaced)
&#96
