::: Hi Gerard, you are obviously having a great time thinking of alternate ways of depicting the encrypted output. However, how about a rewording that states that mixing of case on some unrelated snippet of usable (check the license) text should be used in the first instance, but other methods could be shown too? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 07:30, 12 September 2015 (UTC)


: I could see standardizing some aspects of the task. Perhaps requiring a specific text (either to encrypt or to hold the encrypted text or both), for example. Though I could also see it being more interesting with variation being either allowed or specified. But the font aspect is something of a problem - if you seriously wanted font support, you should first implement a Rosetta Code task which involves multiple fonts. But since there's no file upload capability, the only way to see correctness would be to render to html or wiki-markup. So that might be a dead-end. So perhaps for this task we should just standardize on using letter case in place of font? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 19:36, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
