How to get crosscut

in excel, it's called strikethrough...

I made the tag up, there's really no single BBCode standard (I don't think any forum software has agreed to use that site as a standard, for example, I think it's just info collected from around the internet).

I think we are going to switch to markdown in the next overhaul. Either that or just plain html (subset of it).

I can't trust a site called bbcode.org? Next you're going to tell me I can't trust Wikipedia!

Nah, I am one of Wikipedia's biggest fans. But they have their own kind of markup too (no real standard for wiki markup either).

Well nonetheless thank you Dad most kindly, it's not every thread that actually leaves a useful deposit

Now you might ruminate on some easy means to access the code without having to spell it out every time

In Mac I know it can be can done, I used to know how, but at 81 with incipient Alz's……..

Thanks Bob for your input. For the benefit on one ancient participant, if it's no trouble I wonder if you'd mind defining a term or two

Which tag is that, and precisely what's a tag; for instance is it a kind of link

If the strikeout link or code is one such tag, then yes, thanks immeasurably and I'm impressed that it could pop into your head out of nowhere

While I realize that the editing links above this posting window qualify, exactly what is a BB code (is it for instance a tag or another kind of link), and what does "BB " stand for

By "we" do you imply you're in a position to alter a2k software (and if so I have some suggestions!) and what's a "markdown"

(I know however what a "markup" is. So is a markdown the reduction in the price of a packaged routine)

Yes I can OneLook "html,"

a set of tags and rules (conforming to SGML) for using them in developing hypertext documents

…...but that doesn't help much because now I have to look up "SGML" and "hypertext," ad infinitum so anything you can add for the benefit of the Average Clod (me) is sorely appreciated

What makes a "plain" html different from a "fancy" one

Thank you for your patience in tolerating my digital ignorance

One sip from the fountain of knowledge, and suddenly you want to drink from a fire hose....

At the risk of mixing an allusion with a metaphor: Peeking behind the curtain is one thing; asking for a demonstration of all the levers and buttons is something completely different.

Yes it's an awful habit

Well put Dad. One of my objections to the everyday news story is the lack of background where the writer apparently assumes you know everything else that he does

Yesterday a bout dusk when Arin Freebits attempted to nudge a can out of his path, he fell forward on his face, breaking two ribs and his nose. Taken to Brougher Memorial in Tuscon,……

It would have been well to reveal the reason he fell, that he has only one leg

hmmm

Where can I use this?
