Post formatting has been restored

This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Announcements group).

After DU was vandalized by a hacker, we had to remove post formatting while we rewrote some code to make it more secure. Post formatting has now been restored. The following tags will work:

bold
italic
underline

blockquote

div class=excerpt

div class="excerpt"


You can use these via square brackets, or the buttons on the post form.

Thanks for your patience while we worked on this.

The reason is that it requires user input to be translated into HTML, which is the vector that is insecure.

35. How Do I Love Thee?
Thu Jul 20, 2017, 03:09 PM
Jul 2017
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.


Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1806 - 1861
