Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

"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?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

% Tom Hardy (%)

Tom Hardy (blockquote)

Shows the same as blockquote. Goes my css line 5, then buffista.css line 190 to get the font-family monospace, then buffista.css line 185 to get the display block, font-style normal, and margin. Lastly buffistas.css line 1, where it gets padding 0, but the margin 0 is overridden.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

> Tom
<cite> Tom </cite> <span class="quote"> Tom </span> % quickedit % Tom
<blockquote> Tom
<span class="indent"> Tom </span>

Hm.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, the editor is stripping out <cite>. And span class "quote" is calling buffista.css line 185 to pick up the margin, but not line 190 to pick up the font family monospaced. Span class "indent" isn't picking up anything.

The quickedit > is correctly picking up line 190 and line 185, and the quickedit % and <blockquote> are both correctly picking up my personal css first before those two things.

So we the cite stripping is one thing, but beyond that we really need to see it in someone who is failing.

well in my particular case it was font settings. The particular font that the browser rendered in response to the percent mark was identical to the one it rendered in normal use in the posting box. This happened in both Chrome and Opera. Don't know if it was default or a result of something I did to make text more readable for my bad eyes. Probably the latter.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It took me a while to remember where I left Chrome, but it works for me there too.

However, I got curious, and on Dolphin Mini (on my Android phone) it picks up the quickedit > correctly, but both the quickedit % and the blockquote is picking up my personalized css and is monospaced, but not indented. But I have no web development tools on Dolphin, so I can't verify the css lines.

But why wasn't that being overridden by monospace in buffista.css? And was it indented?
