Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Oh. I don't think we want to chase after malformed tags. There are just too many ways to malform them.

eta: despite the badness of my ass.

wheaties:

There hasn't been much independent testing going on in the lab. If we're comfortable that the all function is there, though, I can move on to making the changes to do the automagic stuff on display, rather than before save. This will allow preservation of the text in P-C's testcase.

My present guess is that comparing the timing of a threadsuck in the present mode to the timing of the same threadsuck in the on-display mode will get us a number reflecting the performance impact. Anyone have a better test in mind?

It's a single-quote/double-quote mismatch in the HREF. Also, I'm not sure if that #a342 garbage at the end of the html is relevant.

The pound is relevant. Usually, I can fix a quote mismatch pretty easily, but this time, it wasn't letting me.

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

So the URL was [link] and there was a mismatched quote in the href?

Yep. Opened with a single quote, closed with a double quote.

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

I just tried it over in Gus's lab, and the unmatched quotes were fixed automatically. Pretty cool.
