[oXygen-user] Fixed-width font

[Bradley, Peter]

Hi Andrew,

Yeah.  I did know that.  Trouble was, it wasn't until I saw an extra set
of square brackets that I suddenly realised that's what I needed to
check.

I know.  Terminally dumb.  And I didn't realise that you needed to place
the cursor *inside* a leading bracket for it to highlight the closing
bracket; but *outside* a closing bracket for it to highlight a leading
bracket.  So I got some false negatives.

Pretty lame excuse, I know.

:)

quick tip if you weren't aware of it - if you put the caret next to a
bracket, oXygen will a put a box around its matching other bracket
making it easier to spot pairs.  Indentation helps too :)
