Really geeky Movable Type post. No apologies.<\/span>I noticed several hours ago that for some reason the trackback section of my index page was no longer marked up properly. Such things are invariably my fault, so I started tweaking my stylesheet, then the template — all to no avail, and things really took a turn for the curious when I looked at the rebuilt code: all “class” attributes had vanished from tags inside <MTPings> tags, as well as entire <span> tags with class attributes inside <MTPings> tags.<\/p>\n

BTW, apologies for the site’s most recent current look — it’s a bit of a shambles, and I may not be able to tweak it into submission for a while.<\/span>This, of course, is impossible. And yet there they weren’t. The discovery was followed by a series of progressively more outlandish attempts to coax recalcitrant code into revealing itself, without success. What really hurt was how the comments, which were encased in the exact same html code structure, performed flawlessly. Then I remembered I had installed the new “nofollow” Movable Type plugin<\/a> earlier in the day. I removed it, and my problems were goneMore about “nofollow” here<\/a>.<\/span>.<\/p>\n

I briefly considered being a hero and repairing the plugin, but then I saw the grep pattern that adds the “nofollow” rel attributes to comment and trackback links, and it is a monster, so I’ll settle for flagging this bug. FYI, I tried the “nofollow” plugin without the “mt-pingedentry” plugin and can confirm it’s not due to a plugin conflict (I had flashbacks of OS9 there).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
