Ticket #188 (Fixed)Tue Oct 21 14:42:55 UTC 2008
Collaboa Textile handling is buggy and unhelpful
| Reported by: | Andrew Hodgkinson (6) | Severity: | Major |
| Part: | Web site: Collaboa (bugs and subversion browsing) | Release: | 2nd public site release |
| Milestone: | 2nd public site release completed | Status | Fixed |
Details by Andrew Hodgkinson (6):
As summary; it may even be better to disable it entirely. It’s very hard for people to post bits of script or code without things falling over. Just treat descriptions as <pre> text?

Just wondering how the <pre> tags were persuaded to work in the fifth comment here
…like this?
<pre>
line1
line2
</pre>
<blockquote><pre>
line1
line2
</pre></blockquote>
Modified by Trevor Johnson (329) Tue, November 30 2010 - 10:37:09 GMT
Or this?
<pre> line1<br> line2<br> </pre>
<blockquote> ==<pre><br> line1<br><br> line2<br><br> </pre>== </blockquote>

Is Collaboa still maintained? A quick search only turns up this version at the WayBack Machine
It states “Collaboa 0.6.1 is out”.
And the note at
https://www.riscosopen.org/tracker/repository/file/rool/rails/collaboa/trunk/UPGRADE
states “Initial import of Collaboa 0.5.6 from downloaded Tarball…”

- Status changed from Open to Fixed
Ultimately hope to move to Retrospectiva. In the mean time, the development branch Collaboa uses a centralised, updated Textile dialect which fixes these problems.

One final test to see if it’s Collaboa filtering the Textile output (this is common practice in older applications which didn’t trust Textile enough):
<pre>This should be preformatted</pre>
| This should be | A Textile table |
|---|---|
| With two columns | And two rows |

…yeah, so this will be an ongoing pain until Collaboa is replaced.
Modified by Trevor Johnson (329) Wed, March 16 2011 - 12:03:35 GMT
So should this be reopened, as the <pre> tags are still filtered out?

Depends if this works.

Ah, so there you are. Use the textile pre. or pre.. mechanism. Keeping this as ‘Fixed’.
