All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Gus, another question on the earlier whitefont project.
Once you have sorted out the whitefont coding, how hard would it be to make it a checkbox in the threads, or on the board for a user to just check "Make whitefont visable" in the same fashion as we have for setting a time for our browser refresh?
Just a thought. It might be handy to be able to click it on and off right at the time one wanted to see everything, then turn it off for other things.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Is it so hard to highlight for a one-time viewing?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Post 126 and 127 in Spoilers are whitefonted when they shouldn't be, at least on my computer.

I maybe fixed it.

Actually it made it worse. Now the whitefonting goes all the way to 134.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How is it now?

That fixed it, ita.

Whoops! Sorry about that. It looked fixed on Firefox, I swear!

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
OK, the lab [link] is open for testing. Go ahead and make yourself an account there, if you don't already have one, and pound away.
You should be able to:
- leave font tags open
- use unbalanced delimters on values, for example: color="blue'
- dump in a long url and have it turned into a contexted linky
- do tommyrot's font size + scare quotes + apostrophe's thing
- if you know how to override a style sheet with your browser's capability to do so (Opera users see: Tools -> Preferences -> Page style), you can set the font color of the class ".spoilers" to whatever pleases you. I suggest you download [link] and modify it as your user style sheet. Only newly created spoilers will have the overridden color.
- t b t blockquote and t br will now all close correctly, without extra closing tags.
For techies: Regex delimiters were colliding with url fields. I added code to escape/ unescape those chars. This clears up events like the one aurelia and ita had. The delimiters were pipes and %'s, now they are all slashes or square brackets.
Final note: I threw in the towel on forced hypenation of long words. The screen-widening was mostly coming from long url's, anyway, and that is pretty well covered.
