Ah, I see. Linebreaks after "(" and before "
", or after "
" and before ".)". Mm, that's not very desirable.
The fix... isn't very easy, I fear. I'd need to detect clusters of word-characters-and-images and wrap them in <nobr> or similar. That part of the code is rather fiddly, and also fairly performance-critical because it gets evaluated every time the card is displayed. (There's an argument that I should store the formatted HTMLified text alongside the raw text in the database, updated at write time, so I don't need to calculate all the substitutions at read time. But that refactoring would itself be a bit of work.)
I'll see if I can find a sensible fix, or time to do it the proper way. No promises though.
That latter can be done by pasting in the appropriate URL for a full-card image. But yeah, automating it might be nice.
Or at least a skeleton checkbox "Yes, basic lands are wanted, kthx"
kauefr casts Reanimate Thread.
I'd really like for an official way to insert reprints in our sets, with some kind of checkbox. Maybe even diplaying the card image from gatherer instead of the usual custom render.
Please post a screenshot when you're reporting a bug with how something's displayed, and also report your browser and OS. For me (Windows 7, Chrome) both the mouseover preview of Glacial Bat and the view of it on the card's page itself both appear correct: in the preview "(
" starts the reminder text at the end of one line, with the next line start "can be paid", which seems legitimate typesetting. If you disagree, please tell me exactly what you'd want to see and why.
It's never going to be possibly to manipulate HTML into desktop publishing-worthy typesetting. Multiverse isn't trying to do perfect beautiful line formatting, though I'm happy to make tweaks if there's a sensible simple fix.
Mana symbols do not work like characters with line breaks e. g. if your reminder text starts with a paranthesis (e. g. cycling) your "(" can be orphaned on a line with the symbol and the rest of the reminder text on the next line.
The same is true for mana symbols at the end of reminder text allowing line breaks right afterwards even if they are only followed by ".)"
Use of nonbreaking chracters does not fix that behavior (tested with non-breaking space (U+00A0) and zero-width non-breaking space (U+FEFF)).

BUG example: Glacial Bat (click link; occurs in version concurrent with this post - might change in the future)
Ooh, I hadn't thought of using unicode symbols, that's a good idea. Although it would be a lot nicer if normal text displayed the same size as the mana cost (or if non-mana symbol text in the mana box made the whole thing display as text, not symbols).
I think I suggested it before, but it would be really nice to get just three or four more symbols like
, so you can use different ones if needed[1].
Having user-customisable ones would be a bonus, but harder to implement and more rarely really needed.
[1] And I think this is just me, but I happen to dislike
because to me it looks like 
, an unspecified cost, not just a new symbol.
Yeah, it having it's own request is understandable.
Idk man, those look pretty bad when you place them in the mana cost slot of the card (without the background circle they aren't instantly recognizable as mana costs IMO), but
is nice as far as placeholder mana cost icons go.
Yeah, Allow Custom Symbols is the request for that.
In the meantime, Unicode does allow you to insert quite a variety of black-and-white symbols into card text and costs. Maybe one of 🐚 ۞ ༓ ࿂ ⌛ ⌾ ⍟ ⍾ ⎈ ☀ ☊☋ ⚛ ✦ ✪ ✬ 〄 🅾 ㈰ ㈬ ㈪ ㈫ ㈯ etc might serve your purposes for now?
You mean as requested in Allow Custom Symbols?
How about linking to your own "custom" mana symbol?
Ie. You would be able to define your custom symbol that you could use in mana costs and such within the "context" of your own set.
Say, like this: http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net//smile/magic/pmana.gif
This isn't really a fix, but I basically use "Edit:" or "ETA:" instead of "ps." in comments :)
Hah. Yeah, I'm afraid my Markdown library thinks that a paragraph (i.e. after two blank lines, which is why V's example doesn't trip it) which starts with [letter][dot][space] is intended to introduce a list.
V's examples spread into paragraphs demonstrate what's going on:
p.s. seriously?
P.S. third try
Workarounds: Remove the space to "p.s.", or remove the dots to "ps:", or insert a backslash \ between the first letter and the dot, so your paragraph starts [letter][backslash][dot][space].
EDIT: a. b. c.? Apparently I stumbled upon the syntax of some sort of list?
Also: capitalization seems to be irrelevant - even replacing 'P' with 'R' made no noticable difference. The periods and spaces seem relevant.
p.s. seriously?
p. s. trying again?
P.S. third try
P. S. and fourth
Not occurring here. Confusion.
In a specific set, the visual spoiler might help. That's sorted by colour pair.
You're right, though, the search capability could do with more enhancements in this area.
I just came here to suggest this, so another vote from me.
I just noticed that it is apparently not possible to search for multicolored cards with a specific color combination (e. g. red-white cards) which makes searches in a gold-card intensive set quite daunting and less helpful.
My most common searches are of the type "green-blue creature with converted mana cost 3 to 5" and not feasible.
Similar to Get emailed when things happen or Get emailed when things happen. I've imagined a personal version of the Recent Changes view that puts your subscribed cardsets in bold, or filters down to just your subscribed cardsets.
Yeah, this is an annoying bug with "Preview". It doesn't affect "Create" though.
It does happen when you click "preview," I've noticed. But I haven't had any issue just hitting create.
Works now, thanks Alex!
