swansont Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 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 ® Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) "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.

imatfaal Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited November 10, 2010 by imatfaal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 A nasty workaround is the nasty math tags: [math]©[/math], or even [math]\text{©}[/math] for the type-a-lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) 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 ) Edited November 10, 2010 by Ophiolite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I will see what I can do. I don't see many occasions when we actually want the copyright symbol, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
