Ah, never mind. Will delete. Have no pretty solutions.

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

I was also firefoxing if it makes a difference.

And, if memory serves correctly, I think Jessica is Firefoxing at home, so it may be a Firefox issue.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Unbalanced delimiters on href's should no longer be a problem in the test playground.
Next up: line choppage.
eta: Line choppage installed.
BTW, the line choppage works one way for Opera and Safari, and another for everyone else. Both are brutal. Long URL's (45+ characters) are doomed on Opera/Safari. All the other browsers should be able to use long url's.
Long url's seem to be preserved, in every browser.
eta: Hang off on testing ...

Thanks, Karl.
Calling all testers. Whats in: tag closing/ordering, url protection in hrefs, and a protection for all browsers from too-wide words.
If you want to be a tester, just drop me a line.
Nebbermind. Still busted.

I'm going to go ahead with getting them to upgrade our Plesk (which'll give us a more recent version of PHP).
Later on we can explore upgrading MySQL.

Sounds good.

Alright. Features available for test:
1. tags should auto-close
2. tags with attributes values (color="blue", href="dogmeat", etc.) should auto-balance the delimiters (href=dogmeat" becomes href="dogmeat" ).
3. Words longer than 30 characters will be force-hyphenated. Long urls are protected from this.
4. URL's entered like this: [link] will be rendered into link . This prevents long URL's from stretching the screen sidewise.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Gus, can we make the "link" a little more obvious. When I do it manually, I use the format "[http://www.link.com...]," which is a format John H came up with back when. You don't have to do it that way, but the brackets would help make the link stand out, especially if placed in a line. Maybe "[link]"?
