How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Will do.

Is there some code I can surround code with so that the code will show up and not be eaten? I'm pretty sure I've seen it, but I can't remember what it is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How do you mean? Aside from translating entities like & and &?

For example, if I want to include something like:

body { text-align: center; background: #fff; min-width: 700px; font-family: verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; }

Does it disappear? On some websites it will. It did not. Never mind. My question is moot.

Why don't you email it to us as a text file?

I can do that. Kind of easy, though. Thanks Jon.

Uh, I'm kinda a moron and clicked and hit return too fast and the latest of my votes is the one intended. I think.

So you were voting early AND often? :)

No worries, sarameg.

As the "no worries" above can indicate, votes are flowing in (we're already above the 42 needed votes).

Also, the results will be posted a bit late (Thursday night, board time, rather than Thursday afternoon, board time), due to me being timezoned to sleep when the board is timezoned to afternoon.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The status is NOT quo.

Could a stompy rename me PixKristin? Thanks!
