Looking at your quoted text, P-C, I see an open tag at: "I killed him."

I know. Like I said, I understand what the problem was. What I don't understand is how the board went about fixing it. What I'm saying is, I broke something. Fix it.

Lemme try something.

Here is a line
And a line

It converted the open BR to a closing bold tag, which made it think the previous BR was an open bold tag and thus converted the BR to a bR. Freaky.

Looking at your quoted text, P-C, I see an open tag at: "I killed him." < BR"

The tag-matcher will assume that " <br" is enough, although it shouldn't. Your find goes on the list for fixing, on a non-drunk-and-watching-viddies day.

Too bad there's no way to set a variable in a user's profile whether to see whitefont as white or non-white.

Thread specific, doubly so.

Hey, my inquiry as to the rolling of post overflow into a new post turned out to be feasable, I thought I would muse anew...

Too bad there's no way to set a variable in a user's profile whether to see whitefont as white or non-white.

It's definitely possible. We talked at one time of having user-specific stylesheets and the whitefont is, or could easily be made, a style.

Is it a style? I can't remember. Let's check:

Am I a style?

t edit Nope. It's just a font color="ffffff" substitution, but that's not a barrier.

Yeah, Jon, that's a good play. I have that part of the code open now. I could replace the font part of the 's' quickedit with a div enclosure, if we think that is way to go.

The administration of user style sheets is a larger issue, of course, but the quickedit change would lay some foundation for that day.

It should be a style anyway, just so it's not tied in the HTML to the colour of the background.

Should be a style anyway, just so it's not tied in the HTML to the colour of the background.

I'm thinking in these terms:

. spoiler { font-family: "MS Sans Serif"; color: transparent; }

Which will allow changes in background color, without losing the blinvisbility of the spoiler.

There should already be something in the stylesheet. It's a class called "white-plus-sign". Not the best name, but I think it'll work.

"white-plus-sign" is committed to white. The "transparent" color val works fine with backgrounds that are not white.

Sorry -- I meant that we could change the white-plus-sign to transparent and it would do what it's currently doing as well as the spoiler font stuff.

t edit In fact, if we're talking about letting people change the background color, then we have to change the white-plus-sign class to work with that.
