Your shortened form <b data-path-to-node=”0″ data-index-in-node=”20″>2001:db8::ff00:42:29 is perfectly correct because you accurately applied the zero-compression rules. The most critical mistake to avoid is using the double colon (::) more than once in a single address; doing so creates ambiguity, as a computer wouldn’t know how many zeros… Read more
