nnslashdot: formatting of the HTML?

nnslashdot: formatting of the HTML?

[Kai Großjohann]

Some articles appear with empty lines between paragraphs.  Some have
no empty lines.  Is it possible to always put empty lines between
paragraphs?

Also, what do you think about converting from italic as an indication
of cited text to ">" as an indication of cited text?  Would that be
possible?

I just _love_ this nnslashdot thing!

The paragraphs are generally ended with "<br><br>", and w3 (quite
rightly) reders this as a single line break, giving you paragraphs
without empty lines in between.

nnslashdot could transform "<br><br>" to "<p>" -- I think that would
be safe.  Fix in cvs.

There doesn't seem to be any set citing convention on Slashdot.  Many
use <blockquote> (as does nnslashdot when posting), and some use <it>
or <em> or <b> or nothing.  Dontcha just lurve html?  :-)
