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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

How odd, here's the entire post:

Every time I see a promo for the movie Chupacabra I think of Venture Brothers.

Dr. Venture: What the hell was that?!
Brock: Chupacabra. They're all over Mexico.
Dr. Venture: No way!

Does it do it here?

Hmmm.

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

You've overlapped a t b with the t blockquote DCJ. Lee has a stringent browser.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yes, it has now bolded this thread too.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Lee, is it fixed now? (Here, that is.)

Yep.

Interesting. I did not know that was a stringent rule.

So the blockquote alters the flow of the HTML.

No. Tags are supposed to be nested -- closed in reverse order of their opening. Therefore t b t blockquote t i t /blockquote t /i t /b is incorrect code -- it should be closed like t /i t /blockquote t /b

Some browsers won't let the t b bleed past the t /blockquote -- I suspect that's strict HTML rendering, actually. Others, like Lee's, don't force the t /blockquote to close all the non-blocklevel tags opened before it.

What is even happening?

So we should always code t a t b t c text t /c t /b t /a ?

Actually I usually nest. It is when I convert from a quickedit to a blockquote, etc. that I get into trouble.

Lesson: Don't be lazy.
