[Doxygen-users] Bug: inside generates bad html

[Michael.Broida]

In a \page chunk of documentatation, I have a block of XML that I want to quote 
exactly.  So I use the <pre> and </pre> HTML tags.

But inside that block of XML, there are <list> and </list> tags.  When Doxygen 
processes the <pre> block, it replaces each occurrence of <list> with:
        <ul></ul>
At each occurrence of </list>, it closes the <pre> and all other open HTML tags 
(from before the <pre> tag), and inserts:
        </li></ul>
then it reopens the <pre> tag, puts in the rest of my <pre> block, then closes 
the <pre> tag again.

That is very wrong.  I would expect Doxygen to change all the < chars to &lt; 
and all the > chars to &gt; in that <pre> block, but not to change ANYTHING 
else.

Except for those <list> and </list> tags, it does exactly that.

If I escape the <> chars in those <list> and </list> tags, Doxygen changes them 
to:
        &lt;list&gt;
and     &lt;/list&gt;
That matches all the other < to &lt; and > to &gt; mods.

But I should not have to escape anything; <pre> should leave everything 
untouched.

Tested on:
        MSIE 8
        Google Chrome 20.0.1132.47m
        Firefox 13.0.1
