Bug #: 28659
Summary: <code> is escaped inside <pre>
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16.3
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page rendering
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Hi there,
This seems like it should be a known issue since it's so obvious, but i could
not find any information on it, and nobody on IRC seemed to know either. Sorry
if this is redundant :)
The issue is basically as it says in the title: When <code>...</code> is
included within a <pre>, MediaWiki escapes the former. For example:
<pre><code> test</code></pre>
becomes
<code> test</code>
This is not how it should work according to the W3C:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.3.4
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-pre-element
In fact, MediaWiki seems to escape *everything* inside <pre> (whilst the W3C
indicates that there are only a handful of elements that are not allowed there)
— making it essentially a white-space-preserving <nowiki>.
Is there a specific reason for this? Is it possible to change?
cheers
