font and indenting fubar February 11, 2002 8:13 PM Subscribe
Oh no, bad things. Fonts and indenting are FUBAR.
this started to happen every now and then after the "tag closer thingy" was implemented months ago. It often has the added effect of switching my default sans serif font to times in the middle of a thread.

Matt has filtering in place that's supposed to catch it, but obviously something slipped through.
My favorite method of stripping out formatting on a Windows box is to paste into notepad and then copy back into the clipboard from notepad before using the text in something else.

I notice when I...ahem, accidentally stumbled into 9622 that half the thread looks like that. I tried to post a <div class="comments"> line and, in preview, it fixed the fonts. But when I posted it, the "tag closer thingy" closed my open tag, and everything went back to the icky little times font.

Then substitute the pure ASCII text editor of your choice.

Actually, there was a /div closing tag, which the tag balancer thing didn't add or do. I would guess it was pasted in from an html email.

Matt,
Do you filter before storing in the database and as it comes out?
Individual filters for DB input and browser output allow you to filter what's considered bad for each... so you're not stuck with your old browser filter rules hardcoded in the DB.
