Was looking for how to take notes and learning how to bake, so I tried using
this information…but couldn't get the URL to work (timeout).

Using the instructions below, you can practise baking over at 8ch.net/comms/
Info at the foot of this paste.

Instead, I found this URL would bring up the "baking" area…am I close?

I'm a retired mainframe programmer/analyst with limited HTML skills…looks like the instructions located here for formatting crumbs presumes some sort of HTML knowledge:

Baker templates for formatting crumbs plus links: https://pastebin.com/36a1EXpR

I can't see how to have a post number like >>12345678 return a URL within the browser without having an embedded HREF.
Sorry, but I really think the instructions need to be more detailed for those of us who are not HTML whizzes :)
At the moment, I'm just trying to create a simple "reply" using the box at the top of the page so that I can learn to collect "notes".
In this reply, I want to reference another post (either in this bread -or- a prior bread) and have it show as a link.
I don't see how the Custom Formating under [Options] allows me to do this…
Sweet! I didn't realize it was tied to the catalog on the back end. Appreciate the help!!!
Have seen a few breads lately that needed "scraping" so I wanted to learn how to collect the post numbers and try to help out :)
Baby steps…LOL
My background was geared towards COBOL, PL1, RPG and 370 Assembler on IBM/Sperry mainframes and IBM midrange systems.

Thanks much!
There are days when I don't have house chores to get done and rather than just sitting around watching the boards…I thought it would
be cool to try and collect notes when there's an E-Bake -or- no baker available…
