Tip of the day...

Are your hands full?

You have just grabbed the page's title to place a link on another page, but now you want to add a section title to it to create a section link, but the copy cache is already full. Instead of making two trips back and forth to the page you wish to add the link to, try this...

...use the search box as a quick-and-dirty edit window.

1. Copy/paste the title into the search box, followed by a "#"
2. Copy/paste the section title after the "#"
3. Enclose in double square brackets and copy/paste the whole string to the page you wish to edit.

The search box is also a handy place to store copy text while you copy/paste something else. (But do not forget it is there!)

Sandbox

This is a sandbox.

Sandboxes are fun.

Toys are fun.

Sandboxes are full of toys!

1. If all sandboxes are fun, and and all toys are fun, and sandboxes are full of toys, sandboxes full of toys are fun.
   1. On the other hand, books are also fun.
2. Ignore the previous sentence.

Therefore, as the great Anonymous Weirdo said,

“ All sandboxes are toys. ”

Good	Bad	All right, but nothing to dance to

Quote and poem markup

This is a poem that rhymes
Actually, I lied

It's not a poem at all
It's a placeholder

I think I know poetry
It's just some words, you see
It doesn't even have to rhyme
Rainbow sparkles cosmic lime!
