in reply to class for cb idle messages

They're not all of the form <i>quip</i>. I can't remember the full text but there's one like <tt>... !@monks ...</tt> (my CSS rule tt { ... } picks that up): there could be others not in <i> tags (and those in <em> tags would likely be visually indistinguishable).

I don't have a problem with your suggestion in general; however, as there's only one CB quip per page, consider an id rather than a class attribute.

You've replied to your OP thanking ambrus and Corion for a patch and an update, respectively: I can't find a reference to either.

Update: A instance of that string came up. It's "and !@monks...".

The markup is: <i class="cb_quiet"><tt>and !@monks</tt>...</i> - which suggests the patch/update referred to above relates to class="cb_quiet" - so we're all good. :-)

    I guess the reference is showchatter - (patch), which is probably only visible for pmdevs.

    Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

      Fair enough. I get the Tough beans! message when I follow that link. :-)

    ambrus and Corion reference is from the CB comments, nothing publicly available anymore.

      That's fine - thanks for the reply. I initially just thought it was a missing piece of information. I suspect I've now worked it out as per the "Update" to my original response.
