Message
I notice quite a few people are editing their posts and adding an [EDIT] tag (to clarify that the extra text was not in the original).

This can be tedious to enter, because it uses square brackets, so you often have to type it as:


\[EDIT\] My correction ...


To save all that tedium, the forum now recognises the "[edit]" tag (in lowercase). For example:

[EDIT] Demonstration of "[edit]" tag.




Just to clarify, the tag is typed in lower-case. The word [EDIT] is displayed in upper-case, bold. So my line above was entered as:


[edit] Demonstration of "\[edit\]" tag.
