Letters in brackets disappearing
December 11th 2006 23:03
Hey Jay, a funny thing: check out my blog's front page, and scan through the "Is death an evil?" post. You'll occasionally see something that looks like:
text
"
text
with the quotation mark occupying its own line.
But if you actually display that entry on its own page (say, when adding comments), these solo quotation marks correct themselves.
This is a minor prob, obviously, but just thought I'd mention it...

- If you're writing in Notepad and then pasting it into your post creator, make sure Word Wrap is off, cos that causes alot of problems
- If you're using [ brackets rather than (, the creator will automatically pick it up as an XML tag, so it might disappear. Can you show a little bit of the source code?

Yep, it's square brackets. Enclosing the letters H or M or T in square brackets. I'm sure that's something to do with it.
But it's odd that it doesn't display (and causes a line break) on the blog homepage, but displays perfectly when you click on the post heading or the add commments link, and display the post on its own page.

I'll look into this - you're right that it should appear exactly the same on the home page as the post page, but the process is slightly different as in some cases we truncate posts and this effects the way we parse the tags. As I say, I'll look into it
Cheers

This should be fixed now - please let me know if you notice any other peculiar behaviour...
Thanks
