[gaim-migrate @ 11258] Applying to HEAD. This should fix bug number 1057811, where typing right before a previously inserted smiley would lose the formatting. Since smileys aren't text, the tags weren't getting applied to them (they're child anchors, btw) so typing right before them picked up this lack of formatting. So I fixed it by applying tags to child anchors like we do normal text. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
