Here's a whole new way to put spoilers in postings. Use your mouse
pointer to highlight between the > and <.
>This is blue text on a blue background<
Well, doesn't work for Picospan users.

hey! can we have backtalk automatically format really bad jokes that
way, so the unprepared don't experience them?

You know, the post button is smaller on this version of Backtalk - will
this make it harder to post while drunk?

Hm, my resp:18 looks pretty good in Netscape. However, it looks a bit
crappy in Picospan. I'd say that Backtalk needs to do reasonable
transliteration of character entities in preparing the Picospan version
of a response. For example, substitute "ue" for "ü", "cent" for
"¢", "1/2" for "½", etc.

<remmers gains insight into the difference between "Pure HTML" and "lazy
HTML">

The difference isn't much right now. The only thing "lazy HTML" does
differently is translate blank lines in to <P> directives. My basic
concept was that with "lazy HTML" you should be able to mostly forget
that you are entering HTML, and just throw in tags now and then for
little things here and there without too much of a "Whoops, I forgot I
was entering HTML" effect. It needs work, and it may be in impossible
concept.
The room for improvement in the plain-text conversion process is vast.
There are real questions about how far you want to go with this. I
don't think Steve is eager to rewrite lynx.
One thing I think would be neat would be to translate
<STRONG>text</STRONG> into t^Hte^Hex^Hxt^Ht, so the Picospan pager could
turn it into bold text for terminals that support that. Similarly <EM>
and <UL> text could be converted into _^Ht_^He_^Hx_^Ht type things.
I'd also like it if <A> tags were translated into something like
[LINK http://www.grex.org], giving the URL. Also <IMG> tags should
give the URL of the image (or the ALT text? or both?).
Luckily, this is all Steve's code, so I can wish for things without
having to program them myself.

I like the "lazy HTML" concept. Something else you might consider is
translating the *....* ascii emphasis convention to "<em>..</em>" or
"<strong>..</strong>" containers in the HTML version and _^Ht_(etc)
sequences in the plain-text version.
I think that plain-text conversion should do something with character
entities besides dumping them raw. One of the big plusses for HTML
support in a conferencing program, it seems to me, is the capability one
has of including characters that are not part of the 7-bit ascii set:
characters from foreign alphabets and special symbols like the circled-C
copyright. It'd be nice if people could do that and still have the
plain-text version come out looking reasonable.
