Hello John,

It just occurred to me today that I hadn’t seen an update from you on Facebook for a while. A little digging soon revealed the reason why!

Interesting to read your thoughts on prayer, and on religion generally. It seems you and I have pursued similar paths to similar positions on the whole issue. I think I fully jettisoned the last of it about 5 or 6 years ago, but that doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes revisit the discussions with others.

Thank you for an elegant treatment of the subject. You always were a thoughtful chap, and I’m glad to see that hasn’t changed!

Best,

Marc

I just tried it today and noticed, that it’s really working to put in the normal title. I don’t know why I thought, it wouldn’t work.

The reasoning behind the plugin was that I didn’t want to touch the original titles, just alter them on the fly. Otherwise you might run into problems.

I tried to argue for this ages back and was rebutted:
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1371

I still think Otto42 was fundamentally wrong, in that he concluded that any and all HTML in titles would be purely presentation, while what I was trying to assert, and continue to, is that the likes of em and code are actually semantic in nature and should be allowed in titles. But I didn’t have time to debate with a developer who wasn’t open to reason and obviously wasn’t going to change his mind, so I gave up.

The fact that plugins have sprung up shows there’s still a desire for it, but I don’t think it’ll ever gain official integration into the WordPress core. Ah well!

It might be smarter (more future-compatible, and more semantic) to put the word “of” in span tags instead; something like:

of

I also have used em tags in the title field without problem, though usually for actual emphasis or titles of works.

I know I have seen a plugin somewhere that makes the post titles editable with a WYSIWYG…

I googled it and looked on the Extend db, to no avail. This was the closest I found
