Infovore Discussion [Spoilers]

Here is a place to talk about all things Infovore. There is a spoiler warning, that way you can talk freely. You can also ask me some questions, but I won't be spoiling anything myself.

    First I bet someone will ask me this eventually, so I will explain how I have “fancy” curly quotes and tab    spaces.

Spoiler
    I use autohotkey, with my own custom script which allows my keyboard to replace " with “” and replace tab with an empty Unicode character.
    Since the forum ignores multiple spaces, and doesn't accept tab normally. There are some other features such as pressing . . . quickly makes … which is the character for ellipsis, and some bbcode hotkeys for convenience.

Spoiler
If you want to use the script yourself.

Code:

;What you need to know: 0.4
;" becomes “ and ”
;alt+' becomes ‘ and ’
;Tab becomes '    ' Which are blank unicode characters
;Ctrl+b,i,u,t,h for bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and url.
;pressing . three times quickly makes … instead of ...
;pressing - two times quickly makes — instead of --
