QUIZZLER 190: Here is the image we talked about in episode 190 and continued in episode 191. As revealed in episode 192, what makes this line's bounding box turn into a lovely rainbow is that it's been anchored to some text and then multiple — 5, to be exact — conditions (from Conditional Text) were applied to the text containing the anchor. So you're looking at non-printing Conditional Text markup.
