*sings the Jeopardy theme twenty times while waiting for webpacker to finish recompiling*
WOOO. Good news: IT WORKED
Bad news: I don't know why trying to style it to italics didn't. Does Roboto not have italics, is that the problem?
No, it appears to... wait
wait a sec
oh my god I was using "italics" instead of "italic"
@noelle not yet, I haven't poked at where it formats for federation
@noelle more specifically, I haven't figured out *where* it formats for federation >.>

@InspectorCaracal @noelle given the whole thing with spinning text i think mastodon now just strips all html and there's no more fun to be had in that
@InspectorCaracal @noelle yeah but given the spinning text stuff that happened and got patched out i'm pretty sure you can't do custom stuff anymore
@InspectorCaracal @noelle yeah but no custom theme classes? classes that other instances will have?
@InspectorCaracal @noelle oh no i just mean like, as long as you didn't /write new classes/
then yes it should work
@InspectorCaracal @noelle ... i wanna make all sorts of fucked up posts now
@InspectorCaracal @noelle yeah yeah that's exactly what i meant <3
@noelle @squirrel here's what I've got so far, which styles a line as italic if it starts with a 💭 https://github.com/TheInventrix/mastodon/commit/ffccbe7b45fe93ea3d4515e8802d9db99c2d25e4
@noelle er, html = rp_format(html) I mean
@InspectorCaracal @noelle looking through the code it preserves classes starting with 'h-' among others and the only one of those i can find being used in mastodon is 'h-card' and it actually does not do anything, there are no calls for it other than in the code that adds it to a status in formatter.rb
@InspectorCaracal @noelle i feel like a lot of this code just got snowballed from previous versions and h-card is just a rollover from older versions and idk
@squirrel @noelle stuff like the spinning text is handled by this function:
def reformat(html)
sanitize(html, Sanitize::Config::MASTODON_STRICT)
end
I haven't looked into what that strips, yet, but I don't believe it strips classes, and classes are all you need for this.
