I am a gatherer, not a coder.

also? insent again.

C'mon! All the cool kids are coding.

I just realized, above and beyond guides or quizzes, we have a feature need that's reasonably compartmentalized. Quote editing.

For this I'd love coding and design volunteers.

The second paragraph of this t pre changes font for no apparent reason.

Hmm. Jon? John?

<pre>'They'll turn me in thy arms, lady,
An adder and a snake;
But hold me fast, let me na gae,
To be your warldly mate.
</p>
<p>
'They'll turn me in your arms, lady,
A grey greyhound to girn;
But hald me fast, let me na gae,
The father o your bairn.
</p>
<p>
They'll turn me in your arms, lady,
A red het gad o iron;
Then hand me fast, and be na feard,
I'll do to you nae harm.
</p>
<p>
'They 'll turn me in your arms, lady,
A mother-naked man;
Cast your green kirtle owr me,
To keep me frae the rain.
</p>
<p>
'First dip me in a stand o milk,
And then a stand o water;
Haud me fast, let me na gae,
I'll be your bairnie's father.'
</pre>

I don't have the code to hand, but we have overlapping tags, but even that doesn't explain to me what formatting is active in the subsequent verses.

Note that I didn't put in the t p tags; all I did was put in the t pre and place blank lines between stanzas.

Like this


and this


and this

The t p tags are automatically put in around every block of text delimited by two hard returns. However, this should *not* happen inside a t pre block, since it just confuses.

I copied betsy's quote into the test environment (clicking on "edit" for her post and copying what was in the text box) and got some VERY weird results - it looks like the post is getting truncated to 255 characters(!). I'm assuming that this is something that's only in test right now?

You're right, that was weird. I have no idea how the column type got set to tinytext. It's text now.

Thanks, ita. Now, I'm getting the same result as Betsy, and I have no bloody idea why it's happening. But 2 hard returns are definitely adding the t p markers.

Didn't this used to work correctly?

I don't think it ever worked differently. Any tag you open is theoretically effectively closed by the t /p from two hard returns. But why are the remaining verses in a new font size?
