Description Erwin Dokter 2010-12-31 00:48:53 UTC 
Consider this:

:'''Bold in wikimarkup with <b>(embedded bold)</b> in HTML'''
:'''Bold in wikimarkup with &nbsp;<b>(embedded bold preceded by &amp;nbsp;)</b> in HTML'''

The first line will display correctly in all bold, the second will *close* the embedded bold whenever there is a &nbsp anywhere before it. This happens with all HTML tags.
Comment 1 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2011-01-02 08:29:34 UTC 
Works fine when tidy is disabled, so tidy issue.
Comment 2 Erwin Dokter 2011-01-03 23:11:16 UTC 
In that case, Tidy should be set to ignore &nbsp;.
Comment 3 Peter Bena 2011-11-25 18:46:52 UTC 
Is this still an issue? however since there is at least a workaround I am changing priority. It works for me ok

Disabling tidy isn't really a viable work around. (Not double embedding bold otoh is a good work around ;)

Someone should probably get around to filing all these tidy bugs upstream, since no one at this bugtracker works on tidy, so it's unlikely that these bugs will ever get fixed here.
Comment 5 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2013-05-04 16:02:36 UTC 
Why was this closed invalid? Please include a reason when closing bugs.
Comment 6 Erwin Dokter 2013-05-04 16:19:23 UTC 
Because, as you said, this needs to be fixed in Tidy, not in MediaWiki.
Comment 7 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2013-05-04 16:21:21 UTC 
Generally in such cases we keep the bug report open and link to the bug in the upstream tracker (and add the upstream keyword)
Comment 8 Technical 13 2014-06-13 17:48:02 UTC 
Note that while first line will display correctly in all bold, the second will *close* the embedded bold whenever there is a &nbsp anywhere before it. This happens with all HTML tags:

:'''Bold in wikimarkup with <b>(embedded bold)</b> in HTML'''
:'''Bold in wikimarkup with &nbsp;<b>(embedded bold preceded by &amp;nbsp;)</b> in HTML'''

:'''Bold in wikimarkup with <b>&nbsp;(embedded bold preceded by &amp;nbsp;)</b> in HTML'''

This third line displays correctly in all bold.
