The Glowfic Constellation

Yeah, I definitely appreciate that it exists. That’s one of the most important features it could have; far more important than everything else I mentioned combined.

I mean, I did say that the pagination was going to be wrong xD I am glad you like it! That said, this is as far as I'm going to burn time on it for the time being, so maybe just make sure you've got a ticket filed somewhere?

[DanielH]

Yeah, there’s a reason I qualified it with “if”s, and you did say you didn’t want to think about design for it. I’ll just put it on the Bitbucket issue list tomorrow so that it doesn’t get lost.

So when I use the quote thing on the Rich Text Editor, what I get is:



What I want is:



But to get that I need to edit the HTML code and remove the <p> from within the blockquote. Is it possible for that to be done automatically? Or at least for that extra margin inside the blockquote not to exist?

[Unbitwise]

It would be better in the long run to keep the <p>s and tweak the stylesheet to not have the margin instead. Because that way you don't get the extra margin on a multi-paragraph blockquote either.

The minimum special casing would be:

Code: Select all

blockquote > p:first-child { margin-top: 0; }
blockquote > p:last-child { margin-bottom: 0; }

It might make sense to do that everywhere, not just in blockquotes, but that might require adding margins elsewhere to keep something else looking right.

How would that affect those of us who use the HTML editor and disdain <p>s entirely?

[Throne3d]

We already have that on post content so that paragraphs don't display differently from text using <br />. (Or, well, we have the first-child thing, and I don't think the last-child thing is as noticeable there.)

It should not affect the HTML editor at all. You'd have to include a <p> tag inside a <blockquote> for that rule to affect your writing.

I just opened the editor for the first time in a while and my galleries now seem to be sorted by the first letter in their description ignoring all punctuation. Was that intentional?

[Marri]

We've been trying to make our sorting consistent for a while, I don't think it's 100% yet but maybe it was that?

[Unbitwise]

Well, the problem is that now I have fewer options to subtly create a sensible ordering of icons. Like, I had all my keywords starting with either “+” or “−” to create positive/negative/neutral groups and now they're jumbled up. If I add letters or something then I'm distracting readers from the actual labels.
