Can anyone tell me what the character limit on the World Factbook is, and whether line breaks / 'returns' and board code has any effect on this.

Much thanks.

I'd also be interested to know just what we can and can't use - html for text styling? images and links don't seem to work?

Certain BB code, like
Italics
Underline
Bold
and the groovy line
[hr]
work, IMG doesnt work, I am not sure what the max character count is, mayhaps Ill test it with the EP.
if I do Ill post it here in this topic.

Cheers Loop.

I created a region to test what you're seeking to know about the total length of the World Factbook entry.

Here are my results:

Pages: 1
Words: 2
Characters (no spaces): 548
Characters (with spaces): 548
Paragraphs: 1
Lines: 8

I may be off by 1-3, I've predicted, but please, correct me if I'm incorrect.

Cheers much, TH.

No problem. :)

Does that include enter (soft return), lines (hardreturns), coding, etc.?

bold, italic, and underline coding would take up seven spaces each use ([ b]bold[/ b]) * Note I had added a couple spaces to block the code from working here. Hard return or enter and hard return could lengthen the factbook beyond 8 lines.
