I believe I fixed the tiki formatting in writeback [writebacklfbug, writebacks, writebackformatting, writebacklfbug-fixed]. Turns out, I still had some legacy code that escaped special characters and newlines to prevent 'tomfoolery' in my pre-tiki support. Tiki already escapes that stuff, so I was getting doubly-encoded writebacks.
BTW, since I put up this blog/wiki, I'm amazed at how many times I've reached for my Linux in a Nutshell
book. (And ironically, my blog runs on FreeBSD
).
