Text Color Formatting Bug

TappedOut forum

Posted on Feb. 10, 2015, 12:39 a.m. by Blizzicane

Everywhere I have text color is no longer properly formatting and is now just smooching together in a lump of text as seen in my deck below and on my profile except in my spoilers.

Tagging yeaGO, now to demonstrate a example I am going to write 12345 on a separate line but it will instead join with this sentence. 12345

However, when written outside the color text code the line formatting works fine. :3

It's because of your div tags. Get rid of those and it'll work.

Alternatively, you could keep the div tags and put all of the content in p tags instead.

This is actually one of the more annoying characteristics of div tags. It makes writing primers so much more tedious because divs are the most reliable tags to get spoiler text to function for all browsers, but they also force you to use extra tags to format the content properly.

Epochalyptik - But the thing is without div tags no color will show up at all. Also, the p tags are not solving the problem for using text color (I just tried it). I have been using this formatting for more than half a year now with no problems until later today so I am guessing this problem came up around the same time as the +/- problem that is still going on.

Oh and I am not saying my spoilers are broken, in fact everywhere else except inside my spoiler text code that I have written on my deck and profile I cannot make a new line in my text color code even in this thread and even my old updates are now just one long line of text. :(

Hi. Seems to work fine for me. Even in deck-lists.

Perhaps a proper test.

For each new paragraph you want you must have a new p style color code.

Hmm it seems like it works when I separate them like femme said. :3

Though it a bit annoying now that I have to write a new div or p every time I want to write a new line now instead of just using one. Well it looks like I am going to have to go update all my decks with the new formatting unless, yeaGO this was unintentional and can be fixed? :S

Pro tip: ctrl + c -> ctrl + v your HTML and make your life easy.

I think it would better if you did it this way. I did it this way from the beginning, so my decks are mostly fine.

I still have some lining issues though.

Epochalyptik - Oh don't worry I have been doing that since day one as there is no way I am going to write the code from scratch every time I post. Its just that I don't really feel like adding the code on every single line in the deck descriptions and updates section on every single deck I made but that's just me being lazy. XP
