That sounds sensible. Any HTML inserted manually should be left in place (possibly tidied - e.g. addition of closing tags - but not removed). It's only the generated HTML that should (arguably) be cleaned up in this way. If the user doesn't want the empty tag, then they can edit the page to remove it. - Mark Clements (HappyDog). _______________________________________________ Wikitext-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitext-l
