Notes:

  • Answers will occasionally be moved to the Sandbox archive when there are too many of them. When using them to report bugs, keep an eye on the post.

  • You may also want to take a look at the Stack Exchange's Sandbox chat room

  • This site, Meta Stack Exchange, is usually used as a "test bed" for pending changes happening to the way text is rendered on all network sites. Changes to text rendering that are going to be rolled out to the network are usually deployed here first to test them out and fix any potential glitches. Currently, there are no such changes pending, but if there were, keep in mind that text posted here may render differently from the other sites until the changes roll out to them as well.

As per Jeff's suggestion in this comment:

You can use this question as a formatting sandbox. You can:

  • edit this question itself (Community Wiki questions such as this one require only 100 reputation to edit instead of 2,000)
  • post answers to this question (This question might be protected, requiring earning 10 reputation on this site to answer)
  • post comments to this question or its answers
  • test suspected bugs with the editor or the rendering
  • post ponies (only when mods are asleep)

Beware that since the changes to syntax highlighting in December 2010, and the inline hints added in March 2011, no syntax highlighting is applied unless the question's tags or an inline hint enable it. So, to test highlighting here in the sandbox:

  1. As of January 8, 2019, you can use GitHub-flavor fenced code blocks in your posts, specifying the language after the opening fence:

    ```html
While not hinted otherwise: <html></html> source <b>goes</b> "here".
```

    ```js
var a = 3;
while (not (a > 0)) {
    alert("JavaScript code <b>goes</b> here.");
}
```

  2. Or:

    • Create code blocks in any way (using the fence notation above, the four-space indent form, or using HTML <pre><code> tags).

    • Save your post!

    • Use your browser's developer tools to edit the resulting HTML. To open developer tools, press F12, or ⌥⌘ I on Mac.

    • Find the <pre> element and add the attribute class="prettyprint", or change it into one of the valid syntax hints linked above, like class="lang-vb prettyprint".

    • Run the following in the location bar: javascript:prettyPrint(); or prettyPrint() in the console.

Answers that are considered annoying or obnoxious, or that cause breakage for users, will be deleted. This is codified as a policy as of March 29, 2018.

Let's try to play with code snippets...

$("#fade-toggle").click(() => {
  $("p").fadeToggle();
});
<script src="/api/flow.js?q=https%3A%2F%2Fcdnjs.cloudflare.com%2Fajax%2Flibs%2Fjquery%2F3.3.1%2Fjquery.min.js"></script>

<button id="fade-toggle">Show/Hide</button>
<br>
<p>text</p>

It worked. Maybe I can use ReactJS?

function MyForm() {
  return (
    <div>
      <form>
        <label>Enter your name:
          <input type="text" />
        </label>
      </form>
    </div>
  )
}

const root = ReactDOM.unstable_createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<MyForm />);
<div id="root"></div>
<script src="/api/flow.js?q=https%3A%2F%2Fcdnjs.cloudflare.com%2Fajax%2Flibs%2Freact%2F16.6.3%2Fumd%2Freact.production.min.js"></script>

It actually works, you just have to use Babel and create a root element.

It is a “lose-lose scenario” or a “lose-lose situation”, in which, no matter which path you take, you lose.

Merriam-Webster

    presenting two options both of which put one at a disadvantage
    (example usage) a lose-lose proposition

    Recent Examples on the Web:

    ︙
    During a war, NATO would face a lose-lose choice: lose a fight with conventional weapons or initiate a mutually catastrophic nuclear exchange.
    — Keir A. Lieber, Foreign Affairs, 24 Oct. 2023

Wiktionary
    Having only negative outcomes.
Wordnik
    A situation that has only negative outcomes
“lose-lose situation” at Urban Dictionary
    You lose both ways in a situation.

    I thought that lying to Mark would keep his feelings from being hurt, but really his feelings got hurt AND he doesn't trust me any more.  That's a lose-lose situation.
Cambridge English Dictionary
    A lose-lose situation or result is one that is bad for everyone who is involved:

    • He said that going ahead with the strike would be a lose-lose situation for all concerned.

This is a test.

  1. This is testing to see if, when editing the second incorrectly-formatted dot point (after the grace period), this dot point shows up as if it were removed and then replaced.

  2. This answer will be deleted afterwards; please ignore.

  3. Further testing.

Testing whitespace in inline code formatting. (Seems to render different in the preview.) Edit: Confirmed, whitespace at the start of a line gets stripped, but not in preview.

Original

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'foo' from 'gi' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py)

Inline formatted

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: cannot import name 'foo' from 'gi' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py)

How that previews (preformatted):

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: cannot import name 'foo' from 'gi' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py)

Newlines replaced with spaces, inline formatted

Testing backticks in inline code to compare with comment:

  • Single: \
  • Double: \\
  • Triple: \\\
  • Quadruple: \\\\
  • Before character (star): \* (this is a control since I know it works correctly)
  • Spaced single: \
  • Spaced double: \\
  • Double ticked: \

Double ticked is the only one that renders the same. See How do you type a single backslash, code-formatted, in a comment?
