Since when we don't support self-closing elements? I didn't know either. Until I saw someone add a parser test for that behaviour. Though it looks like en.wp doesn't work that way right now. Either that's tidy screwing around Either way <section /> in html is meaningless.

That assumes that every single wiki using LST knows how to use bots and how to do this replacement properly. Bots are not simple to use. Frankly I know how to use them and it would be really annoying for me to have to do that if I still use LST. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
