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.

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.

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.

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

% percent

carat

plaintext

In my example above, the percent line matches the plaintext line, and the carat line is indented and monospace.

According to Chrome's debugger, the line "percent" only has paragraph tags, no "blockquote" anywhere.

"carat" is wrapped in "cite" and the styling is showing up correctly.

You have a space in front of the % sign, so that's why it's not encoding. Those quickedits need to be first on the line.

% percent (blockquote)

greater than (cite)

I still don't see anything with the %.

Drilling down in chrome, I get a CSS match for buffistas.css cite{} on the cite line that sets it to monospace, but no equivalent match on the blockquote line. The only match I get on buffista.css for the blockquote line is the body{} block.

Hmm. It seems Chrome isn't correctly refreshing my sytlesheet or something, because the lines I'm seeing in the debugger do not match the ones I see if I go to [link] .

Okay, here's my inheritance when I delete personal customisation. This is the computed style:

color: #000000;
display: block;
font: normal normal 400 16px/normal Consolas;
height: 19px;
margin: 2px 64px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: left;
width: 669px;

And here is the tree that shows how that came about: [link]

Why is it not triggering buffista.css lines 185 and 190 for everyone? Is it being overridden by the user agent stylesheet? You can see that mine's being overwritten, which is my expectation...naive as I am.
