Syntax
|
safe show:o
|
Safe Mode is a feature of 3B2 that prevents the expansion of nested showstrings from interfering with each other. This was not the default behavior of earlier versions of 3B2, so up to version 8, by default Safe Mode is turned off. If you are using 3B2 pre V8 then ALWAYS turn it on unless you have some good reason for leaving it off. The default behavior leads to inconsistent behavior in some show string syntaxes. Post V8 this option is always ON by default. |
