Reading Code

[edwardz]

Everytime I read code, instead of :, or some other symbol..i get these abstract short forms

":" instead of ":"

Is this a language pack thing?

":" instead of ":"

what's the difference ? :S

& # 5 8 ;

That. When ever it is posted, it turns into that. Try it yourself~ Without the spaces.

You are just seeing things. You will look again and everything is fine.

Edit: Hmm, interesting. Nice find. I'd say it's something like #{ } in ruby strings (or many other languages). &# could be an identifier for a symbol in a string. I believe this could be a way of hacking websites. Very likely it could be.

Dan, nice timing

things starting with an ampersand (&) generally represents characters such as > < " etc in HTML. sometimes this screws up and shows the codes instead of the character. Not really sure if anything can fix this.
