Although indented (not quoted, indented) text shows up fine in the editor, it does not show in the actual article. Perhaps the "p" tag is not cleared to show the style="padding-left: 30px;" attribute - it shows up in the editor's HTML, but not in the actual article.
We filter user submitted HTML to remove potentially unsafe content. style attributes are one of the things that gets removed because in IE you can embed javascript in them. I thought that all of the markup the editor was generating was permitted but it looks like this one case where that's not true. I've raised an issue to fix it. #122
Potentially related: my italics are showing up fine in the editor, but not in the actual post. Markdown-style asterisks aren't working either. I see italics in other people's posts--how are they doing it?
Okay, now I can get the italics to work---by manually editing the HTML source, changing the <span style="font-style: italic;">editor's tags</span> to <i>such</i> or <em>such</em>. But the editor should really be fixed---or is it just my browser? I'm running Safari 3.2.1.
There's definitely a problem with the editor - it shouldn't be spitting out anything with style attributes, since they're dropped due to an exploit in IE.
