not the same anon, but I'd love a base code with unnested captions. not the script but you had something with unnested captions yourself which I thought felt better on the blog. i don't know how much trouble it is but i've never seen a base code or a proper tutorial besides the script and that just takes too long to load for me :(
hi nonny!sorry that this is so so late but I was on a semi-hiatus (that turned out to be more off a full on hiatus, oops) due to me moving - I’m mostly settled in now though so I’m (mostly) back, yay!
in any case as to your question: I could totally do that the only problem is that yes, there’s non-script way for unnested captions but it only works on text posts. not on comments on photo posts or any other type of posts. just text posts. I don’t know why, but that’s just the way tumblr implemented it omg. if you’re interested in that, I can totally make a tutorial about that though!just let me know :)
