[edit] Revert

Any reason this was reverted? The current code breaks line breaks, for example here. -- Cid Highwind 07:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, Cid, I should've written an explanation, but I had to leave. The long and the short of it is that you're right, there's an issue with the current form of the template that requires the user *in some cases* to enter a forced new line after the incite to preserve the correct formatting. I've played quite a bit with the template trying to get it to behave in an appropriate manner, but to no avail. Adding a forced break to the template fixes some situations, but breaks others (where the template was already working correctly). For example, there's an incite in the Gates McFadden article that was formatted properly until the incite template was changed, after which the line following the incite became formatted as if the line started with a space, i.e. as if <pre> </pre> was used. I'm at a loss to figure out exactly where the problem lies in the template; I'm guessing it has something to do with the use of the <div class="noicon" style="display:inline"> tag. -- Renegade54 14:44, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reasoning

Could we add another parameter to add a reason for an incite? like...

{{incite|This is a rather ambiguous reference that might be related to something else}}

...that way some people might not see the reason for the incite but if you mouse over it gives more explanation...just a thought. — Morder (talk) 01:41, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I say make it so. Certainly can't hurt. ;-) – Cleanse 05:08, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Done and done, it's written so that it doesn't hurt... :) — Morder (talk) 05:35, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
