No harm done. The rule isn't special to this forum; it's best to
minimise the fragility of your message by not relying on many sites all
staying the same over a long time.

First, always post in “plain text”; don't present program code in a
“rich text” or “HTML mail” or any other magical formatting tool.

Second, don't post long code examples. Work up a small, self-contained,
complete compilable example <URL:http://sscce.org/> so that there isn't
any extraneous material, only the code that demonstrates the behaviour
that confuses you.

The reason to do that for presentation here is that you want the code to
be short enough that people will find it worth their time to volunteer
to help you.

But an important side benefit is: in stripping the example down so that
it doesn't contain anything not needed to demonstrate the behaviour, you
may end up understanding it well enough to solve the problem yourself —
which is a valuable skill and very much worth your while :-)
