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.

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?

OK I hereby volunteer myself as a collector and as a coder for the buffydb, and I think all the cool kids will want to do one or the other or both, right?

Re: collecting? Ple's already baggsed Wesley, right? Or do we say dibbsed? In that case I want to adopt Faith! Also Willie. I have a soft spot for that guy.

Nobody really needs to claim Buffy, because she's in every ep, but even Buffy, Willow and Xander have had their doubles and their twins and their doppelgängers, so maybe "Twins, etc of main characters" is a category for someone to adopt?

Re: coding? If we think we've already mapped out the structure of the database, we need to start thinking about functions.

We need "edit person", as discussed, so that we can tick Joss as writer, director, composer, etc on an ep-by-ep basis.

What else do we need? "Edit Episode" of course, to put in synopses and snarkage. Does any registered member get to add their own snark to an episode?

What about the voting thing we talked about before?

Just throwing the ideas out there...

Can someone link to the discussion of structure from before? Was it in the Bad Old Days on WX or what?

Re: collecting? Ple's already baggsed Wesley, right? Or do we say dibbsed?

Depends if she's claiming collection rights, or already has him trussed up in is basement struggling against his constraints (which, if she's had him there for a while, is by now probably just for show).

That would make my basement so much more interesting...

I can collect the Danny Strong data, too.
