No because it is pretty trivial to add poorly-formatted-not-really-what-you-intended, Yes because you feel such a goofball doing it. I suppose I ought to reluctantly admit that, not being a regular wiki user, it took far too long to "get" the plain fact that "article", "discussion", "edit", "+", and "history" tabs at the top are actually something useful.. On the plus side there is a fairly decent help system up and running (see navigation/Help top left), but it did not appear to cover the bit I was after (see below). Also, on an active wiki, regulars will probably fixup your typos and formatting guffs for you anyway. Oh, and <eucode> works pretty good. > >Or perhaps I'm just on stupid day. Ditto I also wanted to ask how or why does the bit on http://euwiki.ayo.biz/Talk:Negative_Indexes just after "Consider these two fragments" be nicely boxed and pretty. I tried the same later on ("You should study this fragment from be_execute.c") and it just would not behave the same, but apparently Derek did something to it and now it does, but I cannot see what. A blank line above and below, and leading spaces on each line, was not enough. Confused, Pete
