UBB Codes

How do I insert square bracket pairs in a post without this site interpreting it as UBB code? -mk

Just add spaces [ b ] bold text [ /b ]

or refer ppl to the FAQ page

The example I have is the following C variable:

${item{*}}

The inside curely bracket pair should be square bracket pair. How do I display the square bracket pair in here?

$[item&#91*&#93]

The <left square bracket><asterix><right square bracket> gets interpreted as a list item.

I guess I have to insrt a space in there some place. -mk

Try the code command:

Code:

---

${item[*]}

---

Nope, that doesn't work https://discussions.virtualdr.com/!

The ASCII code for the left square bracket is 91 and the right square bracket is 93. So, if you want to have the following string displayed here in your UBB message:

   [*]

you need to use this string:

   [*]

Thanks Vernon. As seen above, that certainly did the trick.

Again, Thanks. -mk
