Intriguing addition to the Myth of 42 may I add a link in my article http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A530560.

Maybe there should be a distinction between a Pure 42ism and one that uses things like Modular (or integer(?) Division)??

I'm planning on putting the Myth forward for Peer review today - Any comments?


Hmmmmm

Hey, how come this didn't show up in my "Recent Conversations" list?! smiley - erm

Hmm, I see you tend to call it 42isms. I should mention that. As for a distinction between pure and "impure" 42isms... I don't know. The 42 game is your idea. smiley - smiley

And how comes, despite following the GuideML Clinic - I'm still not getting Referenced Articles on the rigt hand side from my Home Space.

Squeak!

Aha! Argon-naught! I just got that, boy am I slow... smiley - smiley

My guess is that there are too many links to the same entry, and that mucks up the whole Reference system. Although I have no idea why it would... Btw, what's that ARTICLE tag you got there? Not that it makes any difference -- I tried pasting your code into a new Entry, but no luck. No reference.

Strange. smiley - erm

My code? How'd you get that?

Article Tag?? I just used or something... Well I did after finding out about it!

Yes, it has taken some people a while to catch on, not that I'm complaining of course - It took me long enough to think it up when various login systems already had Argo, Argon, Argonaut, Argo0, etc...! smiley - biggrin

You can get the code to any entry by altering the URL a bit. The URL for an entry looks like this (as everyone already knows):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A512902

You can see the code by swapping the 'A' for 'test':

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/test512902


As for the ARTICLE tag, I see now that the server adds that itself. Sorry if I confused you. smiley - smiley The LINK tag with the H2G2 attribute should work fine; I'm surprised that it doesn't. Maybe you should complain to Mark or someone. You might try starting a conversation on the LINK page:

What ANOTHER conversation to keep tabs on - I'm got 50 plus on my Forum postings page atm!! (had to change the URL to end in =50, which you can do when you are reading threads to make it not so tricky scrolling down)!
