The parser will fail to match tags on input like ''[http://example.com text''], it will produce output like (approximation) <i><a href="example.com">text</i></a> instead of <i><a href="example.com">text</a></i> like it should. There's a parsertest for this bug titled "Mismatched <i> and <a> tags are invalid"
With the current multi-pass parser it's difficult to fix nesting problems like these. No nesting state is preserved between doAllQuotes() and replaceExternalLinks(). Nevertheless, i'm working on another preg_replace hack that fixes most of these cases. Target: ''Something [http://www.cool.com cool''] --> <i>Something</i><a href="http://www.cool.com"..><i>cool></i></a>.
I've got this test passing now: !! test Bug 2702: Mismatched <i>, <b> and <a> tags are invalid !! input ''[http://example.com text''] [http://test.com '''text]''' ''Something [http://test.com in italic''] ''Something [http://test.com mixed''''', even bold]''' '''''Now [http://test.com both'''''] !! result <p><a href="http://example.com" class='external text' title="http://example.com" rel="nofollow"><i>text</i></a> <a href="http://test.com" class='external text' title="http://test.com" rel="nofollow"><b>text</b></a> <i>Something </i><a href="http://test.com" class='external text' title="http://test.com" rel="nofollow"><i>in italic</i></a> <i>Something </i><a href="http://test.com" class='external text' title="http://test.com" rel="nofollow"><i>mixed</i><b>, even bold</b></a> <i><b>Now </b></i><a href="http://test.com" class='external text' title="http://test.com" rel="nofollow"><i><b>both</b></i></a> </p> !! end
