How the bug displays
I have been trying to develop an extension allowing for a more detailed and
enhanced transclusion feature, among other things. It involves certain new
tags, such as 'section'. I am aware that this tag is already defined in HTML5,
but the problem persisted when it was changed to a different name.
Apparently, there is a problem with the detection of nested tags.
To illustrate this, consider the following wikitext (which renders as seen in
the attachment):
#start sample
<section title="Test" headerlevel="2" name="testing">This is a test</section>
<section name="name">This is a test
<section name="sub">What should be a subsection</section>
Some further text
</section>
#end sample
As one sees, the parser handles perfectly the case where there is no nesting.
But then the second section, containing the subsection, apparently greedily
takes the first '/section' tag as its endpoint, while this is obviously not how
HTML should be read.
After a whole weekend, I decided to ask help here as I couldn't figure it out
myself.
Thanks in advance.
