I suspect MS is "helping". You should be able to download the file by right-clicking the link and open it in notepad; that ought to get you the file in its actual state.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nope, still not getting the same stuff in the style sheet. I'll just have to email the one I saved as a word document at home and see if I can use that.

Woot! Copied in the entire style-sheet yesterday (with modifications) and now everything looks right.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jon, if I change my spoiler CSS to a blackout bar, like:
spoiler: {
color: black;
background-color:black;
}
it also messes up things in my left linkpanel. Can we lose the spoiler style up there without breaking anything else?

How's that? Palatable? (eta: the blackout bar effect is kinda cool. I just have to add some more margin on the right side, for some reason. It looks like the CIA went through the site with their sinister markers)

Sure. Just add another class to the main css sheet that makes text white, and change those two +'s to use it instead of using the spoiler class.

Actually, I just replaced them with non-breaking spaces. Why are we pushing them out with characters? Can we push them out with CSS itself, in fact?

Crude, but effective. Except for people who are using fonts with different specing.

Because we weren't using css when we set it up.

I don't see why not.

But the width of one "+" and one non-breaking space--the idea is to keep it aligned with the elements that have the visible pluses, right? How about we make them list elements with a graphical icon, one blank, but of the same width? Sort of like the folder list elements: background: url("http://www.buffistas.org/images/ico_triangle.gif") no-repeat left;

Making that whole left column a bunch of list elements is, I think, the way to go. Gives folks even more flexibility in terms of formatting.
