Strange-Looking Formatting Of Posts On Sounds & Fury

[Note: This post has been updated (2) as of 11:56 PM Eastern on 23 June. See below.]

TypePad has distributed a new and "improved" Compose Editor to a selective number of its users, and it's a true monster. Not only is it bug-ridden and introducing errors into other TypePad functions, but for those of us who compose our posts offline using HTML markup and then PASTE the marked-up text into the editor it's a veritable horror as it insists on re-coding that text with its own version of HTML making the source text unreadable in marked-up form. We beg your indulgence for any strange-looking formatting of posts on Sounds & Fury until we sort out the new TypePad editor's way of doing things, and adjust our markup accordingly.


Update (2:46 PM Eastern on 24 May): In the process of "correcting" one of the errors introduced into other TypePad functions by the distribution of its new Compose Editor, TypePad has cleverly wiped out an entire Sounds & Fury category: Opera (mostly Wagner and Mozart). The hundreds of posts in that category seem to still be there, but their grouping under that category is gone. We've been told that TypePad is attempting to fix this "correction," but until such time as the fix is done — if indeed it can be done — S&F posts on opera will not be accessible via their grouping by category.

Stay tuned for further progress on this latest screw-up.

(Added 5/24: For more on all the above, see this post.)

Update 2 (23:56 PM Eastern on 23 June): This issue has been resolved and the category, Opera (mostly Wagner and Mozart), with all its posts intact is now restored.
