I can say--I have no freaking idea why I chose to bend something existing as opposed to just creating a freaking class just like how we're handling the spoiler formatting.

I would however, agree to give 10¢s; per historical usage of the ] quickedit tag to the charity of your choice. 50¢s;, even.

Sheeit, I don't even know how most browsers currently handle t dfn . Let me go look...no, nothing. AFAICT there's nothing inherent in its definition that makes it a shortcut. And the style sheet does officially force it to block. Just like I forced t cite . It's not like I didn't know...

And the only default difference between the two quickedit prompts' implementation is that the quote is displayed in monospace, and indent doesn't change the font.

My god, was I programming high?

Okay, I'm going to make the relevant changes in the code and in the main CSS file. It will affect 15 people other than me, based on a quick grep. I'll announce now and change this evening.

So I'm not seeing quotes as quoted anymore. I've added the default styling that ita posted in Natter to my custom CSS sheet, and it still doesn't seem to be working.

(I logged out and the quotes were still in regular type there too, so I doubt it's my custom css that's the problem.)

I'm using Chrome on OSX, if that helps.

Ditto in IE for Windows.

---

And it's back!

There's no need to add default styling to your individual CSS. It's already in buffista.css.

However, I've viewed it logged in and out in six browsers on two OSes, and I can't duplicate the issue, so if someone who knows how to use the debugger on their browser would pipe up, that'd be great. Then I can see what your browser is applying.

% testing testing...

It looks to be rendering correctly to me, in Firefox 13.0.1 on Windows 7. You have blockquote set to be spoilerfonting at the moment for debug?

<p>
<blockquote> testing testing...</blockquote>
</p></div>
</div>

That's how the source looks, on the page, it is grey, which is my spoilerfont setting?

eta: Okay, no it's not the exact same setting as my spoilerfont, it is separately designated in my user css.

---

I made a new quickedit. % gives you the t blockquote tag. ANd > operates like before, and gives you the t cite tag. And for giggles, I guess ] gives you t dfn.

So: % > <blockquote>
<dfn>

<cite>

If you can debug down into each of those and see what's influencing the final format it would be great.

Okay, in firebug, for the blockquote line I've got:

blockquote {
  color: #CCCCFF;
}
84.css (line 5)
cite, blockquote {
  font-family: monospace;
}
buffista.css (line 190)
cite, dfn, blockquote, .quote {
  display: block;
  font-style: normal;
  margin: 2px 4em;
}
buffista.css (line 185)

• {
  

  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
buffista.css (line 1)
Inherited fromdiv.postcontent
.postcontent {
  line-height: normal;
}
buffista.css (line 227)
Inherited fromdiv#page
#page {
  text-align: left;
}
buffista.css (line 21)
Inherited frombody
body {
  color: #000000;
  font-family: verdana,tahoma,arial,sans-serif;
  text-align: center;
}
buffista.css (line 7)
  color: #000000;   font-family: verdana,tahoma,arial,sans-serif;
  text-align: center;
}

Lemme see if that formatted right and I'll grab the relevant text from the <dfn> and <cite>.

---

So the only thing it's getting from my user84.css is the color, the font size displays the same as cite. <dfn> is slightly larger.

---

<dfn> is pulling from line 185 in the board css, nothing from mine, which is correct.

cite, dfn, blockquote, .quote {
  display: block;
  font-style: normal;
  margin: 2px 4em;
}
buffista.css (line 185)

• {
  

  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
buffista.css (line 1)

The rest of the inheritances are the same as for blockquote.
