People have tried to fix this before, and failed miserably. It is not practical in the immediate future, if ever. Everyone likes to say how great it would be to write a "real" parser, but nobody ever seems interested in producing working code that actually replicates the current parser to a good enough level to maintain acceptable backward compatibility. If you're interested in that, please give it a try and get in touch with us when you have a working implementation. Otherwise, it's not worth discussing pointlessly yet again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
