Re: [website-dev] Wiki Edit Preview not rendering correctly

Taking this back to the list so others can possibly contribute.

That actually is helpful.. sort of.  I compared your saved html file
with the same Preview on my side...


> <a name="Paragraph:_.3Cp.3E_..._.3C.2Fp.3E"></a><h3> <span
> class="mw-headline"> Paragraph: <p> ... </p> </span></h3>

This exact section on my side (after saving locally) looks like this:

<a name="Paragraph:_.3Cp.3E_..._.3C.2Fp.3E"></a><h3> <span
class="mw-headline"> Paragraph: &lt;p&gt; ... &lt;/p&gt; </span></h3>

Notice that the <p> tags are rendered *correctly* in my Preview.  The
<p> tags in this heading are wrapped by a <nowiki> tag, so should NOT be
rendered as <p> tags... but for some reason in your case, the <nowiki>
tag seems to be ignored.  When the tag is ignored, you would see exactly
what you describe - a broken H3.

I'm also seeing a lot of other differences in the HTML between my copy
and yours.

Example:
TJ's preview
-----------
<tbody><tr>
<td valign="top"><a
href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Image:Documentation_caution.png";
class="image" title="Image:documentation_caution.png"><img
alt="Image:documentation_caution.png"
src="index.php_files/Documentation_caution.png" border="0" height="40"
width="40"></a></td><td>Do
not use &lt;br/&gt; or CR/LF for marking paragraphs. CR and LF are
ignored, except within &lt;pre&gt;...&lt;/pre&gt; and
&lt;listing&gt;...&lt;/listing&gt; areas. The &lt;br/&gt; tag is only
for rare cases of explicit linebreaks.
<pre>  /** does this and that.

    This sentence should start with a "&lt;p&gt;". If not,
    it still belongs to the previous paragraph!

    This still belongs to the first paragraph. &lt;br/&gt;
    As this sentence is as well!
  */
</pre>
<p>Consider using <tt>&amp;lt;</tt> for &lt; and <tt>&amp;gt;</tt> for
&gt;, as shown in the example above.
</p>
-----------

My preview:
-----------
<tr>
<td valign="top"><a href="/wiki/Image:Documentation_caution.png"
class="image" title="Image:documentation_caution.png"><img
alt="Image:documentation_caution.png"
src="/w/images/e/ef/Documentation_caution.png" width="40" height="40"
border="0" /></a></td><td>Do not use <br/> or CR/LF for marking
paragraphs. CR and LF are ignored, except within <pre>...</pre> and
<listing>...</listing> areas. The <br/> tag is only for rare cases of
explicit linebreaks.
<pre>
  /** does this and that.

    This sentence should start with a "<p>". If not,
    it still belongs to the previous paragraph!

    This still belongs to the first paragraph. <br/>
    As this sentence is as well!
  */
</pre>
<p>Consider using <tt>&lt;</tt> for < and <tt>&gt;</tt> for >, as shown
in the example above.
</p>
-----------

Note the differences... missing <tbody> on my preview... TJ's uses a lot
of &lt; and &gt; notation where my preview uses < and >.

Anyone else have a clue why one user would see one preview and the rest
of us another?  A char set?  A configuration setting?
