My understanding was that the root cause here was the markdown text that *Allura* uses to construct the email uses `---` which creates a `<h2>`, not that there was an `<h2>` in the user's input.
That said, I noticed on this ticket we have `<h2>` in summary line and it ends up rendering as a real `<h2>` in email notifications. We should allow `<h2>` in markdown, it is useful; but we could keep titles/summary lines as non-markdown since they are are just a single line and people don't really put markdown into a ticket summary or forum thread title. I'm guessing this would be a matter of escaping the summary line when inserting it into the email notification. --- ** [tickets:#5693] Last paragraph in Allura notification mails about forum posts is <h2> in HTML** **Status:** in-progress **Labels:** 42cc **Created:** Fri Jan 25, 2013 10:01 PM UTC by Michalis Kamburelis **Last Updated:** Thu Jun 27, 2013 07:23 AM UTC **Owner:** nobody When sending notification mails about forum posts, Allura appends at the end text like ~~~~ --- [thread title](thread link) ~~~~ This means that the paragraph above will be accidentally processed by Markdown as a header (< h2 >). For example, consider this discussion thread https://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/discussion/general/thread/e17a79e1/ . The last paragraph of 2nd post says "I also fixed the deprecated usage of CreateCamera that you can see mentioned in FPC messages." Now when Allura sends me a notification mail about this forum post, it looks like this in text version: ~~~~ I also fixed the deprecated usage of CreateCamera that you can see mentioned in FPC messages. --- [Error compiling SVN example with "make examples"](https://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/discussion/general/thread/e17a79e1/?limit=25#c927) --- Sent from sourceforge.net because you indicated interest in <https://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/discussion/general/> To unsubscribe from further messages, please visit <https://sourceforge.net/auth/prefs/> ~~~~ And like this in HTML version: ~~~~ <h2 id="...">I also fixed the deprecated usage of CreateCamera that you can see mentioned in FPC messages.</h2> <p><a class="" href="https://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/discussion/general/thread/e17a79e1/?limit=25#c927";>Error compiling SVN example with "make examples"</a></p> <hr /> <p>Sent from sourceforge.net because you indicated interest in <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/discussion/general/";>https://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/discussion/general/</a></p> <p>To unsubscribe from further messages, please visit <a href="https://sourceforge.net/auth/prefs/";>https://sourceforge.net/auth/prefs/</a></p></div> ~~~~ The HTML version of the email was obviously prepared by processing text version with Markdown. And the "---" (appended automatically by Allura) caused the paragraph "I also fixed the deprecated usage" to be surrounded by < h2 >, since this is how you make headers using Markdown. A trivial solution would probably be to just add a newline before the "---" that is appended by Allura. --- Sent from sourceforge.net because [email protected] is subscribed to https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/admin/tickets/options.
