Bug #: 35864
Summary: Being too Bold - well formed Bold syntax confounded by
malformed one later
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19

in the text below tit for tat is missing a ' on the left (or has one too much
on the right) this causes the ''' after "relatedness" to be interpreted as ' ''
confounding the user as to what's going on.
please enjoy the sample:
I have come to see the main issue in bringing new users into the community is
one of '''relatedness'''. To explain my theory - In a hive or a nest eusocial
life forms like bees use chemical sinatures to recognise hive members from
forign intruders. In Wikipedia users make use of behvioral signatures. The
'''behavioral signatures''' used in recognition develops though iterated
''editing games'' in whihc the dominting startegy is ''tit for tat'''. To pick
up the eusocial metaphor.
Since I'm by now familier with parsing this syntax and with and Bug 930 my
recommendation:
If you cannot fix this - it cannot be done in regex. Then it should be
mentioned in the Help pages that the '' must be perfectly ballanced or chaos
will ensue in the hive.
