Font geeks. I'm giving feedback on something that has chemical formulas with subscripts. So HFCxx where "x" is in subscript. OK so for some reason subscript means "x" is small but at on the same line as "HFC" rather than below it. Kinda HFCxx rather than the bottom of xx being below the HFC. Seems wrong to me, but maybe it is an acceptable variant.

This is a cite test.

This is a block quote test.

In chrome I see neither cite nor block quote.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Both those look like normal text to me, Ginger.

this is a test using the caret

Worked for me. I'm on Firefox.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

In page source, Ginger's "cite test" had no tag other than the paragraph tag.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

FWIW, the Two-Minute Mayo method did not work for me. But I have an ancient stick blender, so maybe it's just weak or something.

And the blockquote "this" up there looks fine to me. indented and pretty much like quotes have always looked, afaict.

I'd love to help more but I think I've hit the pinnacle of my patience limits with debugging this week. I just went all RantyMcCrankerPants to Maria over my work stuff. For something like an hour. And I kept finding new things to get irked over. I might be a wee bit fried by the past few weeks. Or years. But I got a raise and a promotion??

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

You mean the page source?

No--I don't know Chrome or IE, but Firefox and Opera let you isolate an element on the page and trace what styles apply to it. So I can tell that a

quote

has my styles applied to it in 2.css (my custom style sheet) and then monospace is applied from line 190 of buffista.css, more styling from 185 of buffista.css (which also applies to the % propmpt which expands to t blockquote for debugging purposes. And it also shows which styles are overridden in both style sheets, so I can work out why it has the net formatting it does. I would like to see for someone who's not getting monospace or block and indentation what is actually being applied, and what's missing or overridden.

So if you can see what's the difference between what's applied when you % and when you > it would help me work shit out.
