What happens is that diigo turns all the tags into links, and the code for the links contains apostrophes in important places. So if the tag itself also contains an apostrophe, dreamwidth goes O_o I don't know what that means! I'll just write the raw code and hope the human beings reading this can figure out what the heck that is.
And if we write a character which is not one of the normal letters of the English alphabet, diigo saves that character using a special character code, which is unfortunately not the same special character code dreamwidth uses, so when that happens dreamwidth goes D-: Augh, make it stop, make it stop! No, you can't edit this entry, it has bad and scary code and I don't want to look at it!
And that means borked code that looks like an unreadable mess and no way to edit it or even put in a cut tag.
This is the format I would prefer, but it's not very suitable for cut&pasting:
First line of the description<br>Second line, maybe this is the author name<br>Here's the third line, maybe this is the rating<br>And this is the fourth line, yay!
What I do is I copy and paste the header just as it is. Then I write <br>, and copy and paste that. Then I add the <br> to the end of each line and press delete so the visual linebreak disappears (it looks like there is no linebreak).
Only it didn't work every time, because diigo is so weird, and as you say, there's no way to know for sure how it'll look in the autopost.
