That's really not what is meant by framing in this context.

Thanks! I must have got confused with the words. The link has a typo but I worked out my mistake.

Thanks for informing about the typo. LW doesn't understand brackets in links, had to put a backlash in the closing bracket and embed the link in the text to get a working link.

Words can be very tricky. If you want to learn a more general lesson of where that mistake might have come from, you might find this series of posts interesting.

yes, its explained in the formatting help that a / is needed to symbolise where that symbol is not used as a formatting symbol.

Thanks for the link, my confusion (and mistake) sits in my memory which connected the word meanings to simpler concepts to make them easier to know and store. In fact - I was so sure that the confusion was with the situation and not with me; that I automatically asked before challenging my existing knowledge. I mean - its just framing right? :P
