I've noticed that a c in parentheses is automatically turned into a copyright symbol ©, even with the noparse command. Any way to customize this, or turn it off? Punctuation near parentheses is turned into smilies but that can be defeated with noparse

 

The registered symbol is a problem, too ®

"c" 'c'

 

This didn't happen to me in preview mode. Let's see what happens when I post.

 

Edit:

That also worked. So either you are talking about what happens in word (?), or you and I have different setting somewhere, or I don't understand what you mean.

open bracket c close bracket = © ie it gets rendered as copyright symbol

 

happens on both preview and post, and when you switch between fast reply and full editor

A nasty workaround is the nasty math tags: [math]©[/math], or even [math]\text{©}[/math] for the type-a-lots.

I should learn not to post when I am tired. You distinctly and clearly said parentheses. I distinctly and clearly read quotation marks

 

Edit:

As a short term work around you could place spaces between the brackets, thus - ( C )

I will see what I can do. I don't see many occasions when we actually want the copyright symbol, anyway.

I just happened to notice it twice recently, in citing something from the US code (subpart c) and in a relativity thread and was a tad annoyed I couldn.t make it go away. I can do copyright using "option g" on my mac ©. I imagine there's a similar option in other OSs

Damn. There's no way to turn this off without editing the BBCode parser itself, and that'd get wiped out every time we upgrade the software.

Oh, well.
