I'm still blaming Japan. Although now I'm blaming you too because I clicked the Amazon UK link which means it'll be suggesting things like that to me for weeks.

No, that's a manual edit. It would be a good idea if that's a message that @PJH could change.

The confusion seems to stem from you thinking "dick" is text, when it is, in fact, one or more randomly-selected lowercase letters.

So what you were doing was calling out the shoulder aliens who believe GMT is British time in general. Okay, gotcha.

It's important to remember that the +1 hour thing is quite localized to Western Europe and parts of Africa. Even in Poland, for example, GMT jumps two hours ahead in the summer! And some places don't use daylight savings—in Saskatchewan, it doesn't matter what time of the year it is, GMT is always 6 hours behind. Filed under: the more you know...

It should be rendering as I intended now (or, y'know, not). Stupid Preview window...

Proposal: remove preview window rendering, replace it with what your post will look like when it's "baked"? Unpossible?!

Gaska · 2015-02-09 Reply Admin

That would be too consistent.

Onyx · 2015-02-09 Reply Admin

tar:

Possibly.

Seriously, even though there were some hints that they run the same JavaScript code serverside for baking as they do for previews, I wouldn't be 100% confident it runs the same in browser and in Node or whatever they are using. JavaScript being what it is etc. And it would seem that it doesn't.

I'm not that surprised. I had to hack around some templates to get mustache alone rendering the same in JS and php (DOM injection issues, mostly with tables. A bit of a different issue, but stil...), and mustache is extremely easy to parse in comparison. Fuck knows what happens to HTMLDownBBCode after all the sanitizers and shit.

The only real solutions I see are either a proper WYSIWYG, or ditching the preview altogether.

EDIT: Man, today is insane. Can't even form proper sentences. Edits galore!

After the last couple of days, I'm not 100% confident that the two^? different baking engines aren't diverging. The preview window just flat out lies to me these days... :\

Onyx · 2015-02-09 Reply Admin

My WAG? A bunch of jQuery hacks to make stuff work consistently on different browsers vs. "pure" JS running on server.

Just a WAG though.

you mean Ruby, right? discourse runs ruby on the server.

last i checked anyway. if they did JS then i've really got to get into contributing!

Onyx · 2015-02-09 Reply Admin

accalia:

Yes, they are. But I seem to recall asking about rendering engines on the front- and backend and getting an answer that the HTMLDownBBCode is parsed in JS even serverside. My memory might be faulty though, will discosearch later when on better connection.

Next time you catch it doing that, would you check "Discourse Default" to see if it's something I've broken on "TDWTF Default" or whether it's Discourse itself?

OK, will try to. It's been one or two isolated incidents, but I think I know at least one incident to look for...

The french will never stop despising anything which is not french!!

That is why their national radio station have a legal quota of french language broadcast & to ‘ell with le musique du pop

The law was imposed in 1994 to protect France from what the government saw as the “Anglo-Saxon cultural invasion” Source http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/12197192/France-drops-legal-quota-on-French-radio-songs-as-DJs-forced-to-play-boring-old-ballads.html and your ami Google
