Entry tags:

I did it! I broke the site! ... just a little... with a little bit of WTF-8.

So if anyone who uses the Rich Text editor when posting an entry was trying to insert a link to a github user, and wondered why it didn't look like Github was in the list, when you could have sworn you'd seen it in a recent code tour...

... it isn't.

"Github" is not in that list.
"github", however, is. Lower-case. And since that list sorts capital letters first (all capitals before all lower-case, according to an ancient table), this means that "github" goes down to the bottom of the list, below YouTube.

In dw-free/cgi-bin/DW/External/Site/Github.pm

line 19 is:

package DW::External::Site::github;

Which ... I wrote! Hooray! (Oops.)

Some troubleshooting process. )
