Summary: French spacing matches where it shouldn't
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Page rendering
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: tstarl...@wikimedia.org
The French spacing parser feature, which converts a plain space before
punctuation into a non-breaking space, is naively implemented and has
undesirable side effects. For instance, the following wikitext:
== !!! READ THIS FIRST !!! ==
is rendered as:
...<span class="mw-headline"> !!! READ THIS FIRST !!! </span>...
The present regex matches at the start of HTML elements, as shown, and could
also match inside attributes. The solution is probably to either move it into
doMagicLinks(), or to implement something like what is there: a method for
doing regex substitution on the plain text component of HTML and not on the
attributes.
