Ways to improve + h.c.

Hi, I'm Graeme Bartlett. AstroTomical, thanks for creating + h.c.!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Forums are counted as unreliable sources, can you find a textbook mentioning this?

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Morse code again

I believe that the <nowiki/> markup you added in this edit is nonsense generated by VisEd (glad to see I am still justified in not using it). If it does serve some purpose, please enlighten me. SpinningSpark 11:43, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

I think you and I are on the same wavelength on the Visual Editor one: Similar to you, I never use it. Ever. I don't trust it to do what I would expect, and mostly I already know how to encode what I want by hand.

I did indeed actually put in the <nowiki/> markup on purpose. I can't at this point remember exactly where, but I think it was inbetween a right bracket ] that was part of the reader-visible text surrounding a punctuation character, and a double right bracket ]] that was the closing of a reader-invisible link to the article on that character. Either that, or a single quote ' adjacent to markup double quotes '' that were for text displayed in italics. If it was that latter case, then '<nowiki/>'' forces the three-in-a-row quotes to be interpreted as a single quote followed by an italics double-quote, instead of a bold-text triple quote '''.

In some situations, the <nowiki/> separating wiki markup codes isn't strictly necessary – specifically if the Wikipedia's typsetting software notices a problem and correctly guesses how to split up several characters in a row, but I prefer to not have to rely on guessing how software is going to guess: It's easier just to force what I want, so the computer doesn't make any choices for me. After all, no matter how paranoid you get, you can never keep up.
