Various fixes for Glow-worm

domenic · domenic · commit 716b29088193 · 2025-01-19T18:11:41.000+09:00
* Stop justifying all text. We previously tried to un-justify some bold "heading" paragraphs only, but several slipped through, and in general it fits the tone of online conversations better to look more "computer-like" and less "book-like".

* Stop fixing up hyphens, dashes, capitalizations (e.g. "earths" vs. "Earths"), standardized spellings ("ok" vs. "okay"), etc. These fixes do not apply to online conversations.

* Stop un-capitalizing the "/Kill" command. It seems possible that this works capitalized, and most commands typed by Kenzie are capitalized, so this sticks better to author intent. There's also the chance that it's significant, as she has a small line about watching her capitalization and punctuation, and as she gets a bit down, she stops capitalizing the last two commands.

* Fix a couple of inconsistent names: "JohnsonJar" vs. "Johnsonjar" and "FlyingKevin" vs. "Flying_Kevin".

* Fix a few instances of misplaced bolding on usernames (the logged-in user's name is supposed to be bold).

* Fix a few instances of bad paragraph breaks vs. line breaks in chat conversations.

This also includes a bolding spot-fix for Ward Last 20.e5.
