Yes, yes it is.
For those just as confused as I was, replace all instances of 247 with 247
- kurthr 9y agoHmmm... is HN removing ^carets? Replace 247 with '2^47', Which is ~'1.28x10^14' or ~36 hours in ns.
- lfowles 9y agoHah. I used double asterisks, should have seen that coming in hindsight. Muphry's Law.
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoI've often been frustrated trying to put more than one asterisk (not italic tag) in an HN comment. Serious question, what happened to WYSIWYG? The Web has supported it for like 20 years, why have we standardized on clunky in-line markup for rich text entry, pretty much everywhere?
- a_t48 9y agoWYSIWYG is kinda crap on mobile. A checkbox saying "Don't format" would be nice, though.
- imron 9y agoIt'd be nice if the formatter would realise that two asterisks in a row aren't emphasising any text and therefore just leave them as is.

- FabHK 9y agoFWIW, you can indent text in a HN comment (by a few spaces), and you get a Blockquote like this, and *asterisks* survive: 2**47
- imron 9y ago> replace all instances of 247 with 247 That doesn't appear to help ;-)
