[kunzite1]

there're several types of output:

kunzite1
kunzite1
valid

kunzite1
kunzite1
valid

lj_nonusermoo
lj_nonusermoo
valid, non-existent username

invalid, no =

invalid, no =

kunzite1'
kunzite1'
invalid, stray '

longerthanfifteen
longerthanfifteen
invalid, longer than fifteen characters

so. an idea would be to return an escaped version of the input if it finds an error. that, or, if it knows what type of LJ tag that it is, just return the "Bad username 'foo' in LJ user tag" idea.

Cool.

[kate_nepveu]

Thank you, that's very useful. I agree that an escaped version of the input for the "no =" situations, and a "bad username [foo]" in the last two situations.

[kunzite1]

yay for agreement.

also, re table: i likes testing and data collectionalness.

[adudeabides]

Your table doen't include kunzite1 (without any quote marks).

Also, now that I think about it, it bugs me that the tag isn't closed properly (that is, kunzite1).

Anyway, yes to the suggestion. :x

[kunzite1]

the version you reference does work, but it's not necessarily important to my example. :P

however, i'm also happy that it supports the xhtml-close. tis neat.

whee.

[adudeabides]

Apparantly completeness isn't important to you!! >:O

;p

[kunzite1]

in this case, no. :P
