I can't recreate it (yet)

How do I get italics and paragraph spacing than? Do you mean all checkboxes, or only those with "convert" in the description? I would not mind the second that much if P tags did not require closing /P's. Requiring closing /P tags really gets annoying IMO. BTW, it would be nice to have an HREF next to the weecodes checkbox for weecode help. Thanks.

Requiring closing /P tags really gets annoying IMO. It's merely a requirement of valid (X)HTML. That's got nothing to do with Zope or anything like that... -YendorMike What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about? - Jimmy Buffett, June 20, 2002, Tinley Park

Scott has worked his ass off on this software, which despite skaky DB drivers is fast, beautiful, and more or less up all the time. And YOU, the Galileo of pointless bitching, find it too hard on your delicate fingers to type a damn tag. SHEESH! I'll bet your parents threw a party when you left home! -drl

Somebody quoted a passage from the W3C (sp?) website that demonstrated that a closing P tag is not required. Maybe they backpeddled in the updates since, but it was not required a few years ago. Plus it is dumb extra typing and clutter, brought to us by the same people who invented that f*cken semicolon no doubt. I think of the P tag like an infix operator, such a plus sign in math or "." in Perl or "&" in VBscript. So shuv your cackling where stellar photon radiation does not reach. ________________ oop.ismad.com Edited by tablizer Nov. 11, 2002, 01:25:09 PM EST Expand All History

Feel free to write your own that emits HTML 3.2. Dr Peter prescribes a nice warm cup of shut the fuck up.

Post #62,295 by static 11/11/02 8:21:27 PM Reply	Trouble is... ... the P tag was never an "infix operator". It was always a container. Which meant it had a beginning and an end. It's just that until HTML 4.0, the ending tag was optional. Wade. "Ah. One of the difficult questions."
Post #62,041 by admin 11/10/02 10:45:29 AM Reply	Re: way too raw for my tastes Just for posting the bug report. re: closing <p> tags: that's valid HTML 4.01 transitional, which is the target here. I can't very well claim that in the meta tags without requiring all content to be constructed that way. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
