Auto-smileys are stupid.

If I try to put in this:

    if cont.button and movetimer=0 then
            buttonpressed=1
            #card = #backtab(cursory - 8 /  * 20 + (cursorx - 8 /  AND $09F8
            if #card = 317*8 then print at ((cursory-8)/8)*20+(cursorx-8)/8 color #color1,"\319" : buttonpressed=2
            if buttonpressed=1 and #card=319*8 then print at ((cursory-8)/8)*20+(cursorx-8)/8 color $2607,"\317" : buttonpressed=0    
            buttonpressed=0
        end if

It replaces all instances of 8 followed by a closed parenthesis with . This is stupid. Is there any way to not make it do this?

It looks like you figured it out by using a code block. The only smiley I see is in the paragraph below the code.

Another way seems to be making a link and then remove it afterwards.

If you need to edit the message, make sure to use Shift+Return and Shift+Space as the editor reacts to regular Return and Space.

Edit: Busted! The editor changed it upon saving changes!

 

I typed 8), marked the text and inserted a link to Google. Then I marked the link and removed it. But it is very sensitive as you can see.
