What is even happening?

The good ones will. The new paragraph is supposed to implicitly close the sub-block level tags within it.

Is there something built into the coding of this board that prompts that? I'm wondering, because in LJ, and on other posting boards where I've used HTML, the tag stays open until intentionally closed. The good (but not as good as this one) posting boards will force a tag close at the end of a post, so that it doesn't infect subsequent posts (all my other boards are upside down, such that the newest posts are on top).

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

Each paragraph here is enclosed in t p tags. Which means that compliant browsers won't let a t b or t i tag bleed into the next t p -- it's probably a closer match to HTML as designed than the other boards, but that doesn't make it better.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So I successfully used the quick-edit in Quotable, but I can't get rid of the space I didn't put in:

Look at this : See the space before the colon? I didn't put it there.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hmmm...

Lemme try.

look at this : the colon test.

I guess I would suggest not using quick edit tags internal to words...

t b and t /b should work fine in that case.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's always done that -- the end of the quick-edited line always has a space.

b colon:

gives

colon:

Whereas

b semicolon
;

has the space.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Somebody named Lady O' t something got their name chewed up by the apostrophe bug on the maps. The bug, he is squished, but I sadly do not know what the remainder of the name should be, to fix the pin. Bad me.

I'm guessing "Lady O'Spain" Gus.

Thanks, KristinT, that was my guess, too. I assume this is someone from one of the threads where I lurk not. Off to fix it...

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yep. The only Lady O' user is indeed the Spanish one.
