From 2d72d85eb42d5bfa64d0ba2b401bb20d52d954c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jim winstead Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2002 00:37:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] highlight urls in notes, use 
 instead of  to
 preserve formatting, and say that html is disallowed entirely (although we
 still preserve 
, 
, and 
 until entries in the database are cleaned
 up).

Note that most HTML tags are not allowed in the posts. We tried

+in side a <pre> element so formatting is preserved. URLs will be turned
+into clickable links automatically. (Double-check that your note appears as you
