Bug #: 41545
Summary: Parser does not permit nested <kbd> tags.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Parser
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: mediawiki-b...@nadir-seen-fire.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When you nest a HTML <kbd> inside another <kbd> MediaWiki parses it incorrectly
and outputs one <kbd> element and escaped <kbd> tags.
ie: The input <kbd><kbd>...</kbd></kbd>
incorrectly becomes: <kbd><kbd>...</kbd></kbd>
This is very important because HTML5 says this about the <kbd> element:
When the kbd element is nested inside a samp element, it represents the input
as it was echoed by the system.
When the kbd element contains a samp element, it represents input based on
system output, for example invoking a menu item.
When the kbd element is nested inside another kbd element, it represents an
actual key or other single unit of input as appropriate for the input
mechanism.
In other words this is valid html:
<kbd><kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>F3</kbd></kbd>
Which semantically means user input with the nested <kbd> elements identifying
individual keypresses.
Note that if you have tidy enabled the bug does not show up.
