Bug #: 41715
Summary: Parsoid "should" eat whitespace before [[Category:]]
tags
Product: Parsoid
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
For compatibility with the PHP parser, I would like Parsoid to mimic this
completely insane behavior: all whitespace preceding [[Category:Foo]] is eaten.
So for instance, "Foo [[Category:Bar]]Baz" renders as "<p>FooBaz</p>",
"Foo\n\n\n\n[[Category:Bar]]Baz" also renders as "<p>FooBaz</p>", and
"Foo\n\n\n\n[[Category:Bar]]\nBaz" renders as "<p>Foo\nBaz</p>". Meanwhile,
whitespace *after* categories is processed normally, so
"Foo[[Category:Bar]]\n\nBaz" renders as "<p>Foo</p><p>Baz</p>".
I realize this is totally insane behavior, but I'm having problems in VE
because Parsoid isn't currently doing this:
1) these cases render differently in the editor than they do in the actual
article
2) lists of categories at the end of the page end up as long strings of newline
characters in the editor
I could work around this in the editor to some degree, but it's tricky because
only categories exhibit this behavior, magic words don't. "Fixing" it in
Parsoid would be nicer. Of course, the whitespace that's being stripped would
still have to be put in round-trip data and be restored by the serializer.
