It’s time for a new thread. So I’ll let you all know the deal on my attempts to allow HTML. I think I can probably get it allowed but<\/i> I want to limit allowing it to certain groups of people. The reason I want to limit is …. ‘bots’ and potentially annoying people. It’s the issue of getting the limits in. So I am trying to allow the html but limit it to<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Long time regularly visitors. This will be defined as more than 10 approved posts. (I may later do and more than 3 in the past year. It’s limiting at all that is the issue.<\/li>\n
  2. Me on the “front end”. That’s what you see here.<\/li>\n
  3. Me on the “back end” where I can respond inside comments in blue. This will allow me to occassionaly make sure an answer is near a question. (Like “how do I do ‘x’?” could have the answer inserted immediately after it, and it could be clear mine was the answer.) Also, I could fix people’s incorrect html!
    \nIt will also allow me to include responses to “you know whose” comments inside his comment when I feel like releasing it which would never be immediately. That way, I don’t need to quote and respond and derail the thread.
    \nIt’s actually really easy for me to get this feature going if I only allow me to do it<\/i>. But it makes all of you want me to let you add color too. So I want to do that.<\/li>\n
  4. Greek letters are going to be a problem. Some ways of entering them are easy at the screen– but the database won’t store them. I am not screwing with the database for maintainability reasons. (WordPress updates regularly. Sometimes that involves automatic changes to the database. I would need to detect the problem and then go in and “fix” it when this occurred at whatever random times WP updates.)
    \nI do have a latex plugin activate– but it requires me to add latex tags to the post. When those are present, we’ll all be able to enter Greek letters in Latex. This post does not have the tags entered. If you know unicode, you might be able to succeed with that, but it’s cumbersome. Finding the letter elsewhere and cutting and pasting will probably not work.\n<\/ol>\n

    If you try putting in right now<\/font> it will probably not work for you. I’ll let you know when it might<\/I> because I’ll want testing. I am watching what “hooks” get activated as people do<\/i> comment, and in what order. ChatGPT is certainly confused. But I don’t need you to bother trying to put the fonts in for the time being. I’ve just got error logs that show what is “triggering”. Merely commenting normally leaves some breadcrumbs. <\/p>\n

    Hopefully, I’ll get these powers in. As usual: open thread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
