Meta help with code formatting - in discourse (though not all markdown-based things), you can actually use 4 backticks to get formatting of triple backticks:
````
```
using Gumbo;
x = range(0,2pi,length=100
```
````
(note: in the source, the above is surrounded by 5 backticks… one can do this ad infinitum)
For in-line formatting, you can surround single-back ticks in double backticks. “This is a `test`” is achieved with "This is a `` `test` ``"
EDIT: I didn’t realize, but Tamas made a detailed post about this, linked in the PSA above
Please do read the post that Stefan and I linked you to - I know when you’re trying to solve a particular problem, it can be frustrating to be sent down seemingly unrelated paths, but taking a little time now to learn how to ask questions in a way that will make it easier for people on this forum to help you will pay off in the long run, I promise.
A couple of other points of etiquette in addition to quoting code:
- it’s also good practice to ask separate questions in separate threads. If your original question was answered, you should ask follow-ups in separate threads.
- Use a title that reflects the question you’re asking (you can actually edit the title after the fact if you wish). Your first question is not really about web scraping, but rather about type conversion
- Only one post can be marked as the solution. Since my post was the answer to a follow up, you really shouldn’t mark it as the answer. One of @onetonfoot’s answers would be more appropriate.
