Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Yes, it's like Beep Me, etc. are spoiler fonted - they appear when I mouse over them.

I've noticed that too but if I scroll over (or mouse the page up and down) they stay re-appeared.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hopefully we're not too cutting edge (ha! as if, ever) with the CSS, but it looks like we're bumping into cross-browser interpretations.

I'm not sure why or how everyone read the same piece of paper and wrote such different code--it's such a lovely idea.

Jon, when you get a chance, can you have a look at the left-hand panel on css.net? The HTML is generated the way I think it should be, but the effect on the formatting has about a double indenting of the list elements and it lacks the former harmony.

That HTML parallels this, which mean you could easily apply this look or this one. I mean, assuming you have more time on your hands than sense.

Yeah, we're on the right track, but it needs some prettying.

I'll try work on it this weekend and see if I can come up with the desired css fix.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I did a t blockquote in buffistechnology and it didn't take.

Did it used to take? I've always used the quickedit.

I've always found it useful to use blockquote for quoting more than a couple of paragraphs here.

Art Crawl!!!

I've generally used quickedit and then closed the spaces up and used the br command in order to keep multi-paragraph quotes in multi-paragraphs.

It seems to be a browser interpretation issue. The blockquote tag is in the post, but I think that the p tags inside the blockquote override it somehow.
