This might be bug 9737.

well this seams to be a tidy-problem
deactivating tidy is making the bug disapear

Good, then I am marking this as a duplicate of the according bug 9737.


*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 9737 ***

well, even if you're not willing to see, but there is a SMW related problem. Only lists that are generated through the #ask-parser show this effect, normal list greated by wiki syntax do not show thos effect

http://www.wecowi.de/view/Deutschland it's simple to recognize were the ask-parser works wrong and where normal wiki-syntax works right

if fact only the format=ul and format=ol have this problem

when generating a list with a template that contains
* {{{1|}}}
or
# {{{1|}}}
everything is correct, so it's a bug in the ol/ul-format

Your observations are correct, but I do not come to the same conclusion: just because a bug in Tidy is triggered by some SMW output, it is still a bug in Tidy, not in SMW. I have checked SMW's ol output and it validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict, so I do not see any bug with it.

In general, it is not our main priority to find workarounds for bugs in other tools (I would like to do even this, but I am using all of my resources on SMW). However, we will be happy to apply modifications to the code if they help to avoid the problem you mention -- if you can track down the issue and suggest some concrete change in SMW (the code is in SMW_QP_List.php), then I will certainly consider applying your changes to SVN. As far as I can see, SMW-ol and MW-# differ only in some whitespace (which should really not be relevant in HTML, but apparently it confuses Tidy).

Since you seem to be unhappy about closing this bug as a duplicate of bug 9737, I now move it to the "LATER" queue (bugs that I will fix right after I have fixed the bugs that are in the "open" queue).

Created attachment 5798 [details]

Thanks, that's the right attitude! :-)

I have committed your change to SVN now (sorry, it's not in SMW 1.4.2 yet, I saw the mail too late).

In fact, this change was so tiny that I did update the 1.4.2 release files to include this fix now.
