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.

Test Magic links:

[meta] – link to the current site's Meta; link text is the site name (e.g. "Meta Super User"). Does nothing if the site doesn't have (or already is) a Meta site.

[main] – like [meta], just the other way around.

[edit] – link to the edit page for the post the comment is on, i.e. /posts/{id}/edit. Link text is "edit" (capitalization is respected).

Help center links. Link text for all of these is "help center": [help] should be obvious. [meta-help] links to "What is meta?" (/help/whats-meta) [help/on-topic] links to "What topics can I ask about here?" (/help/on-topic) [help/dont-ask] links to "What types of questions should I avoid asking?" (/help/dont-ask) [help/behavior] links to "What kind of behavior is expected of users?" (/help/behavior).

[tour] and [meta-tour] – equivalent to the FAQ version, but links to the site's Tour page (resp. the meta site's Tour page). Link text is "tour" (capitalization is respected). Legacy names [about] and [meta-about] are still supported.

[ask] – link to the "How to Ask" page

[answer] – link to the "How to Answer" page.

Links to the front page of Stack Exchange sites (link text is the site name): [so] – link to Stack Overflow [su] – link to Super User [sf] – link to Server Fault [metase]/[meta.se] – link to Meta Stack Exchange [ubuntu.se] – link to Ask Ubuntu [mathoverflow.se] – link to MathOverflow [a51] – link to Area 51 [se] – link to the Stack Exchange Localized Stack Overflow sites can be linked as [es.so] – link to Stack Overflow en español [ja.so] – link to スタック・オーバーフロー [pt.so] – link to Stack Overflow em Português [ru.so] – link to Stack Overflow на русском All other Stack Exchange sites, except Stack Apps: [something.se] – link to something.stackexchange.com, if that site exists. Link text is the site name. [sitename.meta.se] or [meta.sitename.se] – link to a site-specific Meta site. Link text is "Meta ".

[chat] – link to the current site's chat site ne showing a list of active rooms from the referring site), the link text being "{site name} Chat".

On Stack Overflow and localized Stack Overflow sites: [mcve], [reprex], [repro], [mre] and [example] – link to the Minimal Complete & Verifiable Example page for the site.

Tags (these work in questions, answers, comments, and chat, but are not formatted as tags in comments): [Note that if you're on meta, will still point to the main site. Except on Meta Stack Exchange, which doesn't have a main, makes no difference from .] creates a link to the named tag on the main site. creates a link to a tag on meta. The text is linked

Supported magic links in chat

In chat, only a limited subset of the magic links listed for comments work, plus one chat-specific magic link.

Chat supports the following magic links: [meta], [main], [ask], [answer], all the links to specific sites, and tag links (with tag formatting). Chat also adds [chat-faq], which results in "chat faq".

The tag magic links work as expected on Stack Overflow Chat and Meta Stack Exchange Chat. However, on Stack Exchange Chat, the chat room in which you use the magic link must be associated with a specific Stack Exchange site, and will take on the formatting of tags on that site.

Looks like, at some point in the last 3 months, all 4 Markdown language hints were made equivalent.
Previously, the first (lang-markdown) highlighted differently than the other 3, but all 4 look just like the first now.

Markdown highlighting test:

This heading was added to test if the IDs assigned to headings change

It looks like H4, H5, and H6 elements were added to the CSS. This is to test to see if they are live on the site for user contributions.

Using Markdown:

An H1 (Markdown)

An H2 (Markdown)

An H3 (Markdown)

An H4 (Markdown)

An H5 (Markdown)
An H6 (Markdown)

Using HTML:

An H1 (HTML)

An H2 (HTML)

An H3 (HTML)

An H4 (HTML)

An H5 (HTML)
An H6 (HTML)

Using HTML with an id attribute (expected to be stripped):

An H1 (HTML)

An H2 (HTML)

An H3 (HTML)

An H4 (HTML)

An H5 (HTML)
An H6 (HTML)

More testing for automatic generation of id and static assignment.

  1. Fun with lists and headings:

    1. Issue 1: This is an h5 in a ordered list
    2. Issue 2: This is an h5 in a ordered list
    3. Issue 3: This is an h5 in a ordered list

  2. This is the same thing in HTML:

    1. Issue 1 (HTML):
    2. Issue 2 (HTML):
    3. Issue 3 (HTML):

  3. HTML with a static id attribute for each <h5>:

    In the preview rendering, the <h5> elements are stripped, but content is displayed.

    1. Issue 1 (HTML with static ID):
    2. Issue 2 (HTML with static ID):
    3. Issue 3 (HTML with static ID):

  • So h4-h6 id attributes aren't stripped?

    @zcoop98 Tests here show: IDs are stripped in preview, but not backend processing. Custom IDs are not necessarily modified to make then unique to the post. So far, it's not clear if it's possible to have the ID conflict with another post, or even an ID which SE uses in their HTML. If the elements weren't stripped, I would have expected the IDs to be modified to add the post ID in order to force them to be unique to the post ID. So far, it appears that the ones SE auto-adds do have a hash of some type, but that the hash is not invariant (i.e. auto-IDs may change when the post is edited)

  • @zcoop98 Some of the elements which you show in your screenshot I don't see in the page. I'm assuming that you have an extension or userscript which adds all the <a class="js-named-anchor"> elements, because I don't see them in the HTML that I receive from SE.

  • Good point! Here's one with everything disabled (I didn't even realize that I had a script messing with headings... the more you know I guess. Looks like it's the Post Headers & Question TOC script).

  • (Now I just feel silly for never connecting "post headers" to "headings in posts" in my head lol; I always assumed that title referred to the banner the script places above posts)

    PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS ANSWER. If you edit this answer, then it's usefulness will be destroyed, as the HTML will be regenerated differently than it currently is. SE's Markdown->HTML rendering changed after this answer was last edited to remove the feature which this answer was testing. If you want to play with the Markdown for this answer, I created a near-duplicate answer after SE made the change in Markdown->HTML rendering.

Test using <!-- language: lang-none --> (i.e. should NOT have syntax highlighting)

Where indicated, the following sections are separately preceded by a line which contains <!-- language: lang-none -->, which should still prevent application of syntax highlighting. Note that using HTML comments to apply code formatting is deprecated.

In code fences
With <!-- language: lang-none -->
var parent=document.getElementById('parent');
var child=document.getElementById('child');
var preventChild=document.getElementById('preventChild');
Without <!-- language: lang-none -->
var parent=document.getElementById('parent');
var child=document.getElementById('child');
var preventChild=document.getElementById('preventChild');
Using 4 space indent
With <!-- language: lang-none -->
var parent=document.getElementById('parent');
var child=document.getElementById('child');
var preventChild=document.getElementById('preventChild');
Without <!-- language: lang-none -->
var parent=document.getElementById('parent');
var child=document.getElementById('child');
var preventChild=document.getElementById('preventChild');
In HTML <pre><code>
With <!-- language: lang-none -->
var parent=document.getElementById('parent');
var child=document.getElementById('child');
var preventChild=document.getElementById('preventChild');
Without <!-- language: lang-none -->
var parent=document.getElementById('parent');
var child=document.getElementById('child');
var preventChild=document.getElementById('preventChild');

All of the above function as expected in the preview below the text input while editing.

Hmm, does pipenv --support (or similarly styled support config dump) work well in a question or answer? Let's find out (edited some content out for size).

Notice the <details><summary>heading</summary>...</details> used to obtain collapsed-by-default section in, e.g., GitHub issues doesn't work here:

$ pipenv --support

… and then presumably one could continue after the diagnostics.

This is a test of a malformed link. Something similar was posted and detected by SmokeDetector, but deleted before I was able to see it on the SE site where it was posted.<a href="This is just to verify what SE does wrt. stripping the ">malformed tag. I believe I know what SE will do, but I want to double-check.

Additional test (currently Chrome only, if working):

IIRC, the last time I tested this the backend Markdown->HTML render broke this. It does appear to be working in the edit preview.

This is a link to a question which should highlight some text in Chrome.
