Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

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

Done.

It's best to be as specific as possible, because I'm incredibly lazy. Also because people will obsess.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Just trying out a theory:

I want to see if the <pre> tag somehow negates the <font> tag in the following line.

If I'm right, then this line shouldn't be white
fonted in Netscape 4.78

edit: And it isn't! God, I love the scientific method!

Next hypothesis, put the <pre> tag outside of the <font> tag.

What happens now,
I wonder?

edit: That works in Netscape!

Okay, if you want to combine the <pre> tag with a <font> tag, the <pre> tag must come first, or the <font> tag won't work in Netscape.

Whence link clicked (interview):

Q. Is jengod really a goddess? A. We like to think so. She was the mistress of the original Buffista web pages on Geocities, the impetus behind our multiple redundancies, has divine knowledge of the industry, and is incredibly quick with a shooting script quote. And have you seen her interview with Andy Hallett? If she's a goddess, though, she's the lovely, modest and benevolent type, not a bimbo Hellgoddess.

Is there any way for the Phoenix to keep track of open tags so it can close them all at the end of a message? That way if I mess up and forget to close one, only I look silly.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Jengod's page has been down for a fairly long period of time; she mentioned it upthread, but I suppose it wasn't fixed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

rtsuk, there's been some talk of that. I believe it may be In The Works, at some point.

Nobody

Has there been any talk of a preview-before-posting function? That would be really helpful.
