Thanks. Lists are done like:

* Unordered list item 1
* Unordered list item 2
** Nested
*** Again

# Ordered list item 1
# Ordered list item 2
##i Nested, with type of ordered list specified
##i Another

#A one more type
#A and again

Thanks. Would you mind updating your instructions with the above? Or providing a link to this stuff on your instructions? That is:

All of my rules are here:
http://keithdevens.com/software/markup_description

(Hmm... I'll have to change that URL... I don't know why it was in the root of my software directory.)

I may update the description above to link to that page. One of the reasons I haven't is because I don't want people using headings, using raw HTML, or making links to porn images or something. My markup library is designed so that for any instance of it being used, I can turn off whatever features I don't want used, but I'm not sure if I've turned enough features off for commments here

Hey, neat. I had forgotten I'd written a simple syntax highlighter for HTML.

Check it out:

<html>

<head>

<title>This is a test</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/stylesheet.css" />

</head>

<body>

<p>Roar!</p>

</body>

</html>

Thanks for the link; I will have to remember to check under the "software" tab next time so if you are worried about possible spamming, you can remove the link posted in your comment.

The syntax highlighter is nice by the way.

Nah, first time that happens I'll be spurred to make sure I've set all the appropriate settings. No big deal at all.

There is a new tool for webdevelopers, to analyze color contrast for all DOM elements of a webpage.
