Ticket #119 (Fixed)Sat Mar 03 19:35:48 UTC 2007
Colours in textile markup (Wiki) are broken
| Reported by: | Steve Revill (20) | Severity: | Minor |
| Part: | Legacy: I2 (old Wiki) | Release: | 2nd public site release |
| Milestone: | 2nd public site release completed | Status | Fixed |
Details by Steve Revill (20):
When attempting to inject some colour into a Wiki page by using some Textile markup straight out of the Quick Reference, you can see this bug:
Hello should output “Hello” in bluebut instead it outputs “Hell” in blue. Not quite right.
On a related note, the escaping or markup within the colour scope seems to not work, breaking:
C/C\\ should say “C/C++” in bluebut instead you just get a blue mess (I think it was (C+").

Oh, so these tickets are also in Textile markup so you can’t see what I wrote. Nice.

This is a duplicate of Ticket #69, but since it contains further examples I’ll leave it live for now.

From Ticket #69:
The “hard breaks bug” was being triggered. After Changeset #184, I2 uses the system-supplied RedCloth 3.0.3 (rather than the broken 3.0.4) and does not activate hard breaks. Textile handling is as good as Radiant, Collaboa etc. now.
The author of RedCloth, “Why”, is producing a successor aimed at fixing the bugs in the comparatively ancient exising library. It would be good to upgrade to this at some point, provided it gives a material benefit. In the mean time, Textile is fairly stable but does need to be used with some care. The XML-style tag ‘notextile’ is very useful when things aren’t working out how you’d like, particularly with things like ‘C++’.
Extra comments:
As above; Textile isn’t always predictable. Nesting markup can have troublesome results. The rendering in this original fault report is as good as you will get in any application on the site at the time of writing.
