Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I'd think that most people who know enough HTML to be using it would know enough to be able to spot their own errors, especially since the average post would only have a few tags in it.
t edit: x-post w/John
t edit2: the x-post was with Jess, not John. I know how to read. Really, I do.
it might be wise to add a line to the HTML/Quick-Edit help page
What she said, only, also put it right above the posting box where we shamelessly encourage people to use HTML...
I really like option 2 better
You're right, that's not true. What's true is I like option 1 and I'm a big spaz.
I think the relevant question is which is easier to code.
This may not be at all relevant, but I'm curious: how come, when you forget the last " in an a href thingie (which I just did), it messes up the way the page displays, but if you use a ' instead, it breaks everything?
Just not allowing the post would a be a bit easier. But since it is John's preference and John is doing the coding that is not a determining option.
In both cases, the link HREF contains everything up to the next whatever-it-is.
So the page where you put HREF=" and fail to close it will be missing everything up to the next double-quote and bracket, and the page where you put HREF=' and fail to close it will be missing everything up to the next single-quote and bracket.
I don't know why one should be worse than the other though, just a matter of where Jon's use single and where he's used double quotes.
John's doing the coding? Yay!

I think that the post that broke everything had a ' instead of a " for the first quote, not the last one.
John is doing the coding
Ooh, am I? Scary. I'm just kind of sketching out code, I'm not necessarily thinking I'll be coding the whole interface thing. I just kind of started playing with it because it's a regular-expression type thing.
I was imagining that, like with quick-edit, I'd give ita a chunk of code to insert into the main body of the Board.
