The "> " is "markdown", which was added the same time ML updated the markup system from BBCode to XHTML. There are links to the relevant announcement thread(s) in my signature.

You're all wrong. GUI stands for Graphical User Interface, therefore it should be G.U.I. SQL stands for Structured Query Language, hence it should be S.Q.L. Who wants to program a gooey? Or program in Sequel? However, I do pronounce IRC as irk, so maybe exceptions are called for. :/ My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

So then do you pronounce "EAGLE GUI" as "E.A.G.L.E G.U.I"?

IRC is one that I pronounce I.R.C., but I think the majority of people do... Or maybe because I only ever discuss it in text it's ambiguous... If somebody spoke a sentence to me while pronouncing IRC as "urk" I'd probably have no fucking idea what they just said. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

But I suppose by that reasoning I would have to say gooey and sequel too. :/ My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

Talking about GUI I recently tested Nuklear, the " single-header ANSI C gui library" There is an allegro5 port, a DX port, OpenGL, whatever. There -> https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear Pic from the demo I had no problem to compile with allegro5: Edit: The author made a post here, without any success. A pity IHMO "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

That's one nice screenshot! I love seeing indie productivity, since it reminds me of my younger, freer self Antsy or A.N.S.I.? Sea or Curly Kuh? -- |

Who wants to program a gooey? Or program in Sequel? However, I do pronounce IRC as irk, so maybe exceptions are called for. :/ You're probably joking, but officially pronouncing acronyms as though they spell actual words is pretty common. For instance, people don't say "dee ay are pee ay" -- nobody has time for that. They just say "darpa". The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

U.R.L. or "Earl"? There's only one person I know who says the latter and it absolutely drives me crazy. ------------ |

Didn't it originally stand for Atari Low-Level Game Routines?

It was the case at the start: "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |
