Metapost: Edit HTML tab

When entering in a new post, there are two tabs at the upper-right-hand side of the place where you type: Compose and Edit HTML. The latter tab can give you more control over what your posts look like.

Quotes are created out of any content between these two tags.



If your post is looking kind of funny and you want to fix it, just go to the edit HTML tab and make sure all your paragraphs are between "p" tags and all your quotes are between "blockquote" and "p" tags. I will go back and fix any problems as soon as I can, but I thought this might help.
