"Quote" markers are doubled
|
One odd thing that seems to have happened in the import -- posts with quotes in them say "Quote:" twice, once in roman, once in italic.
Look at, for instance, http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/forums/s...hp?tid=824 . Compare with http://www.tapatalk.com/groups/drunkards...t1884.html . 
That's probably a side effect of my starting with unconverted data and doing my own cleanup on it. I'll make a note of this thread and once everything's from the initial scrape has been ported over, I'll attempt to clean up the post data all at once. There are other things I need to fix besides this -- for instance, at least some HTML entities, like < and >, are not being displayed as the characters they represent (as this message demonstrates), and I need to change them. And a few of the big story posts seem to have some familiar garbling that looks like misconverted Word markup that also needs to be fixed.
