I have a website in an RTL language and I want to add a single post with an english (...LTR) title. For some reason the only class that is unique to the specific post is a long string of letters, numbers and symbols and the built in css editor doesn't react too well to it... The post I'm talking about is "We like facebook!" and as you can see here:
The exclamation mark shows at the beginning of the word. Any help would be great!
thank you
If this is just an aesthetic issue on site, you can try this:
.your-parent-class-name .layer-content:before {
content: "!";
}
It might be :after rather than :before but I think the r-to-l text might mean you should use before to put the exclamation mark at the end.
Obviously you'd delete the exclamation from the post title and don't expect it to appear on shares, newsletter feeds, etc.

thanks for visiting my questions here. I'm trying to match sentences between tags. for example:
<h1> Most flavors, except the ones discussed below, have only one
metacharacter that matches both before a word and after a word. <p>
This is because any position between characters can never be both at
the start and at the end of a word. Using only one operator makes
things easier for you.<p>Word boundaries, as described above, are
supported by most regular expression flavors.
I'm trying to get 10 words from each tag.
output:
Most flavors, except the ones discussed below, have only one
This is because any position between characters can never be
Word boundaries, as described above, are supported by most regular
I find it's so tricky. Thanks for your help here!!!
As has already been linked in the comment, one of the most well-known answers of all time on this site is about how you using regular expressions to parse HTML is probably not a good idea. For a more detailed and balanced overview of when it is and isn't a good idea to do so, check out this question as well.
But briefly, the answer depends on what you're trying to do. It's likely that you'll be better off finding an HTML/XML-parsing library for whatever language you're using, and extracting the text with that.
I'm a bit confused as to what your task actually is, as your code as shown isn't valid HTML, since <h1> at least requires a closing tag. But if you do need to use regex to do this, you will want to look at word boundaries and interval operators for limiting to 10, and perhaps lookbehind (or just capture groups) to match the tag without returning it.
But again: if you're trying to parse actual HTML, you'd be better of using an HTML parser to get the tag content, and then getting the first 10 words using string operators. An example in Javascript, which is a bit of a cheat because you get the HTML parsing for free, but it makes for an easy example:
for(const tag of document.querySelectorAll('body *')) {
console.log(`${tag.tagName}: ${tag.innerText.split(' ').slice(0,5).join(' ')}`)
}
<h1>This is an h1 tag with a bunch of text in it that is really long</h1>
<p>Here's a p tag with some more text that's really long
<p>Here's a p tag with some more text that's really long
<p>Here's a p tag with some more text that's really long
<p>Here's a p tag with some more text that's really long
Really having trouble with this and can't find any results on it.
I want my html text to utilize the carrots <> for some of my text.
Specifically for a navbar menu item. But I can't seem to build it without activating the text as an actual div.
I want it to say "< Dev>" without using quotes or spaces, but it when I take the quotes/spaces away it activates it as a div. How do I keep the entire message "< Dev>" without turning it into a div item?
E.g:
<p> Welcome to my <Dev> portfolio</p>
Also what is the term used to override reserved code functions as text? Will help me research answers for other issues too. Like when using & as text and not as code.
Thanks for the assistance!
You'll want to use <p> Welcome to my <Dev> portfolio</p>
You can find a list of HTML character codes Here
Try using the html unicode values for those characters instead.
Welcome to my &60Dev&62 portfolio
Sorry it looks like this forum reads those unicode characters and prints them correctly. Add # signs at the after the & characters to get the html code.
.icon-a:before { content: '\e803'; }
.icon-b:before { content: '\e96f'; }
Okay I know content can be used to render URL or quotes but what is happening in the above code?
I came across this code and it is confusing, I tried googling I can't find any.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Quoting papiro as suggested here
Put simply, they're Unicode references. The "\e601", for example, is the hex code 0xe601. If you go here: http://unicodelookup.com/#0xe601/1 you'll see that the entry for that character is totally blank. It's in a part of the Unicode character set reserved for "private" use. Meaning icon libraries and the like can place whatever they want in those spots and not have to worry about overriding common characters like those of any of the alphabets of the world or a Chinese character, for instance.
In your case \e803 reffers to unicode character this
Hope this helps
It depends on font you are corrently using in parent element. This code is Unicode character code, which can display �. After \ code of character is entered.
I need to show paragraph marks, spaces and other formatting marks in a contenteditable div as you can in MS Word by pressing the Formatting Marks button Formatting Marks button http://blogs.mccombs.utexas.edu/the-most/files/2011/04/show-hide-button-in-outlook.jpg
Is there a simple way to achieve this?
<html>
<head>
<style>
span::after{

content:"\00b6";
}
p::after{
color:black;
content:"\00b6";
}
</style>

<body>
<h3>
<span class="label">This is the main label</span>
<span class="secondary-label">secondary label</span>
</h3>
<P>Quote me</p>

Creating a font which draws spaces as dots and newlines as paragraph marks should solve your problem.
In code it will look like
.editable-div {
font-family: "Your custom font with spaces as dots and stuff", "Actual character font";
}
Here's an article which elaborates on this approach http://www.sitepoint.com/joy-of-subsets-web-fonts/
(I don't have access to Word, but I'm assuming it's the exact same functionality present in most text editors, or InDesign's 'show hidden characters' option &c.)
No, there definitely isn't a simple way to do this, because it's a fairly complex feature.
Your best bet if you really want to do this is to capture the input within the div as a user enters text. Something like Bacon that can easily capture keyed user input as a stream (and allow you to map across the stream) would simplify the process somewhat.
You'll then need to replace* (in realtime) every space/paragraph mark/&c with a relevant marker for the user. The actual input still needs be either saved as typed, or parsed again before saving to strip the new, pretend characters. And though you can use use unicode entities for many of the markers (pilcrows, maybe?), a space (for example) will still show as whitespace (or as the entity code if escaped), so you would need to use a representative icon - essentially, the majority of the hidden characters will each need to have their own specific, defined rendering rules.
This is all fairly nightmarish. It's doable if you can ensure the max amount of text can be kept small, and if you can control what users can enter. For large amounts of text, I can see it becoming horrific: not sure what the JS overhead would be in terms of performance, but I can't imagine it would be particularly good.
* or append - for example newlines/carriage returns etc need to be both displayed as a marker, and actually occur within the contenteditable element.
Edit: What you could do in addition to the above is to edit a font, replacing/adding unicode points for hidden characters instead/as well as visible ones - you would still need to capture input, but this would remove a few headaches. It would deal with spaces quite nicely, for example. Still a bit of a nightmare, but hey.
I want to do THIS, just a little bit more complicated:
Lets say, I have an HTML input:
Don't break!
Some Twitter Users: #codinghorror, #spolsky, #jarrod_dixon and #blam4c.
You can't reach me at blam4c#example.com.
Is there a good RegEx to replace the twitter username mentions by links to twitter, but leave #example (eMail-Adress at the bottom) AND #test (in the link title, i.e. in HTML tags)?
It probably should also try to not add links inside existing links, i.e. not break this:
Hello #someone there!
My current attempt is to add ">" at the beginning of the string, then use this RegEx:
Search: '/>([^<]*\s)\#([a-z0-9_]+)([\s,.!?])/i'
Replace: '>\1#\2\3'
Then remove the ">" I added in step 1.
But that won't match anything but the "#blam4c". I know WHY it does so, that's not the problem.
I would like to find a solution that finds and replaces all twitter user name mentions without destroying the HTML. Maybe it might even be better to code this without RegEx?
First, keep the angle brackets out of your regexps.
Use a HTML parser and xpath to select the text nodes you are interested in processing, then consider a regexp for matching only #refs in those nodes.
I'll let to other people to try and give a specific answer to the regex part.
I agree with ddaa, there's almost no sane way to attack this without stripping the html links out first.
Presumably you'd be starting out with an actual Twitter message, which cannot by definition include any manually entered hyperlinks.
For example, here's how I found this question (the link resolves to this question so don't bother clicking it!)
Some Twitter Users: #codinghorror, #spolsky, #jarrod_dixon and #blam4c. http://bit.ly/2phvZ1
In this case, it's easy:
var msg = "Some Twitter Users: #codinghorror, #spolsky, #jarrod_dixon and #blam4c. http://bit.ly/2phvZ1";
var html = Regex.Replace(msg, "(?<!\w)(#(\w+))",
"$1");
(this might need some tweaking, I'd like to test it against a corpus, but it seems correct for the average Twitter message)
As for your more complicated cases (with HTML markup embedded in the tweets), I have no idea. Way too hard for me.
This regexp might work a bit better: /\B\#([\w\-]+)/gim
