Sometimes when the title of a news story has italics, and the italics tags apparently aren't closed correctly, it makes all subsequent text on the page be in italics when viewed with Internet Explorer (I normally use IE 9). However, the problem doesn't occur when using Firefox. The issue doesn't seem to be affected by which skin I use (it occurs with both the 2010 skin and the 2006 skin when using IE 9).
As an example of what I'm talking about, right now on the front page there is a news story titled "Bandai Namco Games Announces 2nd Kuroko's Basketball Game". In that text, the words "Kuroko's Basketball" are apparently supposed to be in italics. However, the italics don't stop, and all subsequent text in the main section of the front page are in italics (the sidebar isn't affected). In Firefox, it still seems that the tags weren't closed correctly, as the word "Game" in the title is in italics. However, unlike in Internet Explorer, the italics don't continue on past that one news story title, so it isn't really much of an issue (a whole page in italics is hard to read, but one or two extra words in italics doesn't affect much). While I'm using the front page as an example, this doesn't just occur on the front page, but also on some encyclopedia pages. If a news story in the section for news stories related to that encyclopedia entry has italics that aren't closed correctly, then the rest of the encyclopedia page ends up in italics (including all the cast and credits). If there is any way to fix these news stories so that the italics don't continue past the title, then it would be helpful for me as I like to use IE and find the pages all in italics hard to read. However, if it isn't feasable to fix them then it isn't a major problem. I figured I would point out the issue though in case it can be fixed. |

FF doesn't have the problem because I believe (like Chrome) it auto-closes most tag mistakes.

The word "game" is showing in italics in Chrome also.
On the beta site, the word "game" is italicised in Internet Explorer, however the rest of the page is normal. This is the code in question:
This is an earlier, unaffected article:
The problem seems to stem from the headline having a <cite> matched with a </i>. --edit-- on the Beta site the code for the headline is
I'm not sure why "Game" has been included in the <cite>, but it is at least consistent. --edit-- OK, the problem isn't with the site code but with the article itself which has mismatched tags in the title. The Beta site is just behaving more cleverly, in that it is stripping out the mismatched </i> tag and closing the <cite> tag at the end of the line. |

Thanks for looking into this, Shiroi Hane. Since it sounds like the beta site handles the mismatched tags better, maybe there is no need to fix this, as once the beta site becomes the main site it won't be a problem anymore.
