Is there a wiki-style "Playground" on this site?

[oweng]

The shortcut links would be quite helpful. Hopefully [fileabug] would include the text “file a bug” rather than just “a bug” in the link

New test: URLs that don’t want to link!

Ordinary urls like to be linked:

• http://www.libreoffice.org
• ftp://example.org

Some URLs don’t like to be linked:

• URLs with a hash in them:

• Google Product Forums

• URLs with parenthesis:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_(software)

• And with [ ] ( ) syntax:

  • cheese webcam software

• What if the URL has a paren, just not on the end?

• Cheese (software) - Wikipedia

---

Fixes? Workarounds? Hooray!

• Let’s try to use the [ ] ( ) syntax!

   http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/docs/S6IkdnuH91E
  

• Google Product Forums

• For the paren on the end, use a backslash “” to quote just that single character, like this:

   [cheese webcam software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_(software\))
  

• [cheese webcam software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_(software))

• If the paren is not on the end, can we just slap parens around the whole shebang?

   [cheese webcam software - References section](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_(software)#References)
  

• cheese webcam software - References section

Hmm… looks like a no. Let’s try escaping that inner r-paren:

    [cheese webcam software - References section](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_(software\)#References)

• [cheese webcam software - References section](Cheese (software) - Wikipedia)

How to add a “code” to the answer?

[CyanCG]

To display “verbatim” (code, input etc) content, either surround the text with backticks ` ` or indent each line of the text block by four spaces or more.

In comments: How to insert a clickable link to a reported bug?

Since the upgrade to Askbot version 0.7.48 the link behavior in comments has changed. Sample: fdo#66602 Typing fdo#66602 remains unchanged as plain text. Typing [Bug 66602](https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66602) remains unchanged as plain text. Typing https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66602 is changed to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66602</p<>> and results in Invalid bug ID – 66602</p is not a valid bug number nor an alias to a bug..

Geneva, 14 March 2013. At the Moriond Conference today, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) presented preliminary new results that further elucidate the particle discovered last year.

I wish I could work at better understand the science of the LHC.
