Front page review: repeated tag problem

   Hopefully this hasn't been brought up before, I searched to no avail.
From time to time we log in and see that all the reviews on the front page are all in bold or italics below a certain point.  This occurs because a reviewer did not close an HTML tag. I know how this happens first hand because I have been guilty of it.  In reading the abuse thread a little, this seems to happen quite often.  My rudementary knowledge of computers and code tells me that it might be possible to include a script in the submit sequence so when the reviewer submits his/her review, all tags get closed.  Not sure what the host/programmer/mod relationship is and if it would be more hassle than dealing with it on a case by case basis. The review team tends to be pretty on the ball about the problem, but this suggestion might save them some time. Just thought I would throw it out there. 

Cheers.
