As you should be able to see, everything below the section of discussion referenced, including other headers, is indented as though it were prefixed with "::". It turns out that there is a URL referenced there which ends in "%0a" (i.e. an escaped linefeed), and this is somehow breaking the parser; specifically, the indentation of that particular line is never closed, so everything below it is indented to the same degree. I've constructed a simplified test-case at http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/LFURL, and it seems that what's happening is that the "%0a" is being unescaped in the 'title' attribute, and then the closing "</dd></dl>" added *to that attribute*. Presumably, the parser is spotting what is now a plain newline and taking it to be the end of the indentation. I'm guessing there's code somewhere that unescapes such escape sequences to make URL title attributes more readable [the href attribute works fine]; perhaps this needs to be confined to only unescape printable characters?
Is this a duplicate of bug 752 ? (test.wikipedia.org seems to be offline)
