Description Michael Schliephake 2006-11-25 20:17:18 UTC
The Wiki input:

=== Line-break test ===
{|
|-
|Line 1<br/>Line 2<br/>
Line 3
|...
|}

Line 1<br/>Line 2<br/>
Line 3

produces HTML-Source (somewhat beautified) :

<h3><span class="mw-headline">line-break test</span></h3>

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Line 1<br />
        Line 2<br />
        <p>Line 3</p>
    </td>
    <td>...</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<p>Line 1<br />
Line 2<br />
Line 3</p>

I would not expect a paragraph (<p>...</p>) for "Line 3" in the table cell. This
leads to an additonal empty space between Line 2 and Line 3 in the table.

Detected in version 1.6.8. It exists still in the current version and was tested
in the Sandbox of the MediaWiki-Site (V1.9 alpha).

This bug is even more evident when using HTML tables instead of wiki markup. Say:

<table>
<tr>
<td>Line 1<br />
Line 2<br />
Line 3<br />
Line 4</td>
</tr>
</table>

Instead of producing the exact same thing in the HTML source, produces this:

<table>
<tr>
<td>Line 1<br />
<p>Line 2<br />
Line 3<br /></p>
Line 4</td>
</tr>
</table>

If a linebreak is inserted before </td>:

<table>
<tr>
<td>Line 1<br />
Line 2<br />
Line 3<br />
Line 4
</td>
</tr>
</table>

The </p> tag in the HTML source appears after the last line:

<table>
<tr>
<td>Line 1<br />
<p>Line 2<br />
Line 3<br />
Line 4</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

It appears that in a table cell, everything right after the first line and before the last is interpreted as a new paragraph by MediaWiki.

This is just a special case of bug 5718 (when the block-level elements causing the trouble are table cells <td>), marking as duplicate.
