- I really would like to know why I was downvoted...Alexis Dufrenoy– Alexis Dufrenoy2011-06-17 10:32:06 +00:00Commented Jun 17, 2011 at 10:32
- 1On meta it just means someone disagreed with you - not that it's a bad answer.Michael– Michael2011-06-17 10:34:52 +00:00Commented Jun 17, 2011 at 10:34
- This person still could explain why he/she disagrees...Alexis Dufrenoy– Alexis Dufrenoy2011-06-17 10:36:13 +00:00Commented Jun 17, 2011 at 10:36
- 1I agree with you and I'll take it a step further. I have a 100% accept rate on all Stack sites because I take the time to post an answer myself if/when nobody else can. Presumably the original problem was eventually solved. I don't think there's a good excuse for not doing this unless you just never find a solution... and that I find hard to believe. If there's really no solution, then that becomes the answer.Sparky– Sparky2012-03-21 23:10:02 +00:00Commented Mar 21, 2012 at 23:10
- After 2 years, I have to confess: I now disagree with myself. I can't believe I really wrote this. The acceptance rate is gone, and that's good news.Alexis Dufrenoy– Alexis Dufrenoy2013-10-09 14:35:27 +00:00Commented Oct 9, 2013 at 14:35

print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs

`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
