HTML in posts
After quite a lot of debate about the pros and cons of allowing HTML in blogs, we intend to remove this facility in the next few weeks. Posts which have already been created using HTML will still be displayed correctly, but after the switch-over date, new posts will allow only Textile for markup, and HTML will appear literally rather than as markup.
We're interested to hear from any users for whom this could be a problem. If you've used HTML in a post to achieve an effect which can't be done in Textile (and which you think it's important to be able to do), please comment here, ideally with a URL to your post containing HTML, and a note of why you think the markup used is valuable. Thanks.
