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

The Emoticons page is getting kind of large... mayhaps it's time to set it up with box tags?

But that presents a question... Can you use nexted box tags and boxholder tags?

You can use nested boxholder & box tags - but there doesnt seem to be much point - see here for an example of both being nested

Looked at the page... You're right, there doesn't seem to be much difference. I was thinking it might indent a bit farther. Oh well.

You're welcome to experiment further - but I think I tried all the variations.

Apparently not the way I was thinking... And it didn't work at all.

Check out http://www.h2g2.com/A126820 (At the bottom just before the long list of incorrectly numbered footnotes. Seems I can make bugs where none has existed before. )

I think the boxholder, when it gets parsed for XML, expects to see pairs of boxes inside it - if you nest a boxholder inside a pair you get a spare single header line - the same thing if you have 3 box's inside the boxholder.
Clear as mud - I hope so coz I'm getting dizzy

Heh heh...

I was only wondering because of the one boxholder setup already there, but nesting it would just be overkill anyway. I think I must have asked the question on sleep deprivation. If not, that's my story anyway and I'm sticking to it.

Sounds convincing to me

but who parses the parser?

Linus Torvald?

Lex Yacc perhaps?

Berkley!

Okay.. So maybe it -wasn't- Berkley.. Maybe it was Barclay?
