Pink as Msbelle's plates here.
Bold now.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I make a preliminary diagnosis that it's because all posts on WX were in their own TD and here all posts are in Ps inside one big TD that extends for the whole of the post area.
WX was just lucky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm. PF closed my unclosed tags for me.
D'oh!
Oh well.
So it would mean counting opened tags inside each post, that would be all we'd need to do?
Maybe I'm going to completely reverse my position. I'm allowed to do that, right?
What would we need to do, count all opening tags in each post on display? Or just once on Save?

If I only had a brain...
This entire page is pink in IE6.

They do it on display, since the text I get when I go to edit is exactly what I typed.
And they closed them in order ...

Well, you might go back to edit it to correct the open tags... or is that circular logic?
And they closed them in order ...
Damn, that's actually smart!
How are we to keep up the sense of "we're smarter than WX" if the connection's going to keep dropping and they actually do have pockets of good code?
So grab all the tags from the string, and push them into an array, then grab all the closing tags from the string, and push them into an array... hmmm. I really don't know what's the best way to do it. Theoretically trivial, but some questions about the implementation, I guess...

OK thinking about it in the shower, I see I was over-reacting before. In my defense it's early here and I've only had the one coffee.
The task is relatively simple, because we don't have to parse lots of code, only the post itself, and because relatively few HTML tags are allowed anyway.
So, after strip_tags() happens, then we would count all the tags that are still there and note their position (optional, because if you've made a mistake you've made a mistake, and who knows what you intended, but you shouldn't be making other people's posts go wrong).

Showers are good.
How about we pop them on a stack, and pop them back off again? I have not yet thought deeply about how you code around people that close in the wrong order ...
