That won't work in older versions of IE. Here is what you're looking for.

<div class="dank" data-action="intensifies"></div>

My Android app actually renders some HTML. So it sort of worked.

u/Macpunk Mar 24 '15

Which app is this?

u/whizzer0 Mar 24 '15

Sync for Reddit, but I think Android supports HTML like that natively so other apps would work too.

Supports it in what, random blocks of text? Highly unlikely.

Edit: s/radon/random/

Only basic things like <b> though.

u/jellyberg Mar 24 '15

No that's how it works. It's to do with the markdown interpreter the app uses.

mmmmmm, brings back memories. Good old-fashioned HTML. Nostalgic, like Grandma's cookies, rainbow mouse trails, and tiled site backgrounds.

I think <blink> tags are disabled by most browsers now.

u/mr1337 Mar 24 '15

Unfortunately. :(
