h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Ted

Just to let you know, all you need to do to fix your space is this:

put this at the top before the text:




This at the very bottom:




And then click the 'GuideML' radio button, so that it is selected, as opposed to the 'Plain Text' button. Then click 'Change Style', you can then click 'Update Introduction'... If you want to just copy and paste if that's too technical for you, I can do it like that

*contemplates the scenery*

You've done a nice job on this place anyway, though

Copy and paste:



This space...isn't personal. Think of it as a wide open agora (ancient greek marketplace noted for the free sharing of ideas...I wrote this during Social Studies...sorry) where you can chat and meet Friends (if I'm included then all the better). If you have a problem, talk to me! If you just want to chat, just chat! If you hate my guts and curse every move I make, talk to me about it (umm...).

A tio: If you're writing in the middle of a sentence and the text is writing over everything that you've written (like this: I like cats. I like dogs.ike Ursalian Megalizards.), press the key.
Here's a cool little site:
Cool Stuff
If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, do so immediately (it's something to do with the HREF, isn't it?).



Then click the little round 'radio button' next to 'Guide ML' and then press the change style button... (then update intro )

Sorry, don't copy and paste *THAT* one...

C+P **THIS** one

If you want to have a separation between the two sections that look like paragraphs, you'll have to toss in a couple of between the two sections.

The thing is that with Guide ML, there's lots of ways to make mistakes, and if you've got some kind of directions in the < > that isn't "closed" somewhere else, it'll kick back at you. It tells you sort of what's wrong, but usually not in the place you made your mistake, unfortunately.

Line Breaks. I forgot the line breaks!

GuideML is the reason I use a trailing slash in my tags

I was looking at the code for your page, and saw that it said you had a bad closing - it was expecting a closing . whenever you put anything inside those little <> brackets in guide ML, it thinks it's a command.

I was looking at the link coding and I couldn't find anything wrong with it right off hand (but then I'm no , so I can't guarantee you that it's right), so it must be the confusion surrounding the being read as a command by the program.

Try changing it to [insert] or {insert} or even (insert) and see if it works out better.
