Broken image links disrupt tag viewing ∞

Posts which have broken image references will screw up viewing a tag.

For example, if I viewed /tag/blogtext

• .. and one entry had a broken image reference.
• .. that entry will give a wall of errors, and not the one-line error I would see if I viewed that post.

• .. and that tags list would not show any entries after that error-post.

Nested lists ∞

A list which ends with a two-level nested item will display that two-level nested item with an extra carriage return prepended.

The solution is to end the list with a bullet point that ends with %% (the double-percent comment syntax).

Interestingly, this does not occur inside of <blockquote> tags.

Example list:

* first level
** second level

Renders like:

• first level

  • second level

Add a comment like so:

* first level
** second level
* %%

So it looks like this:

• first level

  • second level

I believe this problem is because BlogText makes the final entry in a list a <p>, as evidenced by:

p {
  text-indent: 1em;
}

Regular paragraphs will be effected, but so will the final entry in all lists.

Triple-nested lists ∞

Nesting lists with a third level will not render as-expected. This is almost certainly related to the above nested list bug.

* one
** two
*** three
** four
* five

• one

  • two

    • three
  • four

• five

I don't have a workaround. The only things which can be done is to only use double lists or use indented text like so:

* one
** two
   three
** four
* five

• one

  • two
    three
  • four

• five

Table syntax ∞

A single-item table using its simple syntax cannot render properly and includes the remaining text of a page into the table. The workaround is to create a second cell, with its contents being %% (the double-percent comment syntax).

These do not work:

| example table

This also does not work:

| example table |

The workaround:

| example table | %%

Pages rendering images ∞

e.g. https://blog.spiralofhope.com/page/1

Pages will not render images if they are in a table in the first line of a post. Content, or a double-percent and space above the table solves this.

I do believe I also solved this by using a more complex table.

Large images ∞

BlogText cannot handle very large images.

Arseniya ∞

This particular image is not processed correctly. At best, it can display but with junk underneath it. I cannot find anything to do with that text on this blog. I have tried renaming and editing this image to reduce its Q-factor, neither of which changed anything.

Many images don't display ∞

If I have many image links, not only will they not display but they will prevent any additional content from rendering.

• If I have no text after, then it will simply render this page without the images.

• If I have text after, then a preview will only display the content of the first page.

  • i.e https://blog.spiralofhope.com/?p=10618&preview=true
  • will show https://blog.spiralofhope.com/page/1

This is some example text.

"Today" has a different background title. ∞

A title of "Today" will appear with a different background colour than other h1 entries. The existence of text above or below does not effect this. An example follows.

• The workaround is to follow the title with  . TOC still appears correctly.

• This is not seen with h2

Today ∞

"Introduction" has a different style. ∞

• The workaround is to follow the title with  . TOC still appears correctly.

Introduction ∞

Editing one particular page previews to another ∞

1. Edit https://blog.spiralofhope.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=12080&action=edit

2. Click preview

• I am expecting a preview of that page. https://blog.spiralofhope.com/12080

• Instead, I get https://blog.spiralofhope.com/6553

I have tried:

• Deleting the offending post and creating it again (which is how it became 12080).
• Deleting all content from (and saving) 12080.
• Changing the title from 12080.
• Changing the title of and deleting all content from (and saving) 12080.
• Deleting all content from (and saving) 6553.

• Clearing the BlogText cache for all pages.

Images are not resized in HTML ∞

I don't know, and don't think, this is an issue with BlogText, but I'll put it here for reference.

There is no combination of using the img tag and having it resize.

<img src="/wp-content/uploads/Andromeda-s01e20.jpg" width="150">

Renders as:

Oddly-styled area ∞

Ending a section with = #s turns it into something rather odd:

(arbitrary title) ∞

(arbitrary text)
