Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And it's back!

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

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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.

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

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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>.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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.


Liese S. - Jun 28, 2012 6:55:58 pm PDT #3200 of 4673
"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

<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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

For <cite> I have:

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)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Is that what you're after? But I think mine is showing up correctly, so it may be unhelpful.

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

What about % what does that get you?
