I use BBEdit to post to USENET, and I wanted to insert a ^L character into my post to mark a spoiler boundary. I looked up what I was supposed to do and used the ASCII palette to insert ASCII-12, which put '\f' into the BBEdit window.
However, when i posted to USENET, what appeared in the post was \f, not ^L. Spoiler warning! \f just like that. I had to open the file in vi and manually replace the characters with a ^V^L to get the bare ^L I wanted into the file. -- showing snuffy is when Sesame Street jumped the shark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
