Description Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 2005-07-04 23:29:16 UTC
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"
Comment 1 Gabriel Wicke 2006-03-18 10:36:59 UTC
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>.
Comment 2 Gabriel Wicke 2006-03-18 12:27:03 UTC
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
