Unsolicited formatting help

If you want to see the arrows and not format as a quote throw some backslashes in front of the less than signs.

Otherwise, if you want to get rid of the gaps between the quote lines then put less than signs on the empty lines.

Less Than points to the left < (shape of an L), while Greater Than points to the right > (I got nothing other than it’s not an L).

I believe it’s because we read from left to right, so the prominent number is on the left (I.e., 8 is less than 10 = 8 < 10).

Anyways, great advice! Carry on!

  You are right! The funny thing is I was trying to think of it that way and got it backwards anyway. Not enough mental RAM left after work for that kind of thing, apparently.

Shoot, there’s another way that involves turning the entire comment into plaintext code but I can’t remember the method.
