Nothing shows up in Google (and I haven’t checked out the MT support boards), but it appears that the “Convert Line Breaks” text formatting in MT3 is a bit different from that in MT2. <\/p>\n
“Convert Line Breaks” takes the text typed into a post and automatically wraps paragraphs (any block of text with a blank line above and below it) with <p><\/strong> and <p><\/strong>. Any hard line break gets a <b> inserted. It’s simple and it works pretty well.<\/p>\n Previously, when I did a block quote (which I have a special paragraph class to do, <p class=”block”><\/strong>, I’d put that in front of the block quote, and, where paragraph breaks (a blank line) needed to occur, I made sure that there was a hard line break and a <b><\/strong> I inserted myself. So I would get something like this:<\/p>\n This is the first paragraph<\/p>\n This is the second paragraph.<\/p>\n Under 3.11 (confirmed by looking at an category old archive, then resaving it), MT is not seeing that hard line break, or else it’s seeing it but assuming that the presence of a <b><\/strong> means I don’t want an extra <b><\/strong> inserted. Which I do, but it doesn’t, so my block paragraph subparagraphs get all smooshed together.<\/p>\n This is the first paragraph (I don’t recall why I don’t use the <blockquote> tag — I think I read somewhere it had been deprecated, or else I was trying to do something fancy or something. But I digress.)<\/p>\n I need to track this down, because the change in behavior has a minor-but-pervasive effect not only on how I code posts from now on, but also on how all my old posts look. Eep!<\/p>\n (Coincident with this, I’ve been considering an alternative plaintext markup filter, like Textile or Markup — no decisions, by any means, but it might simplify things somewhat.)<\/p>\n Annoying.<\/p>\n Test Nothing shows up in Google (and I haven’t checked out the MT support boards), but it appears that the “Convert Line Breaks” text formatting in MT3 is a bit different…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1301,"url":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/2002\/01\/29\/broken_comments.html","url_meta":{"origin":6264,"position":0},"title":"Broken comments","author":"***Dave","date":"Tue 29-Jan-02 6:38pm","format":false,"excerpt":"No, that's a good thing.
