Sorry, ita. I saw your post on Monday, but was running out the door and then forgot about it.

If I recall correctly, the only problem I had with the CSS formatting was that if-there-is-a-very-long-string-of-unbroken-text-it- makes-the-columns-overlap-with-each-other-in-some-browsers. Since there are other issues with really long unbroken lines (like horizontal scroll bars) that usually cause the poster or a stompy to fix the offending text anyway, I would say that we can go forward without fixing it.

Ideally, it would be nice to have the separate 2-column CSS separate from the 3-column CSS, but I don't think it's necessary.

t on edit But of course now I can't seem to replicate the problem... Grrr....

Cool.

I'll find a quiet moment to switch things over. Late one night soon, probably.

There's also the quickedit defaults that didn't seem to be consistent with the current site. "b" should default to "strong". I know you disagreed, ita, but I think it's confusing to the user if the default for a "b" shows up as italic.

Also, the "]" indent doesn't seems to do anything.

The ] is parsed into t blockquote --I have no idea why that's not showing up onscreen.

As for what b parses to--like I said--I don't care enough to fight for it.

The ] is parsed into <blockquote> --I have no idea why that's not showing up onscreen.

I guess that's a bug, then?

Does not caring mean that you'll change it, or that you can't be bothered to change it?

A confusing one. I mean, the HTML has t blockquote and t /blockquote in it, and the tag isn't overriden by the CSS as far as I can tell.

As for the t b change--already made.

Note: I fixed a long piece of unbroken text in Jon's post #1338 that was giving me a horizontal scroll bar in Firefox.

Ha!

the blockquote thing is weird. I'll have to compare the b.org source vs. the css.b.net source and see if i can spot any meaningful differences.

ita -- I looked through the source code, and I have no idea why the blockquote tag isn't working on the css server. So I made a small change to the code. In the same way you grepped the ">" to be a cite tag, and then defined "cite" in the stylesheet, I made the "]" quickedit into a dfn tag and added it to the stylesheet.

It was a simple change, but let me know if I did anything stupid.

There's something weird going on in the Other Media thread. It looks as though there is an unclosed italics tag somewhere, but I'm damned if I can find it. It starts here:

The thing is, DJ used the quick-edit for italics, not the <i> tag, so it should've closed. None of the other posts seem to have the tag. It's very mysterious.

eta: And Jon figured it out. It was in the next post's tag.
