Wiki tags do not work
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

The <nowiki><sub></nowiki> tag appears to be broken in the WiktionaryZ
namespace. For example see [[WiktionaryZ:water]]. --[[User:Tosca|Tosca]] 18:33,

:We want definitions to be "self contained" this means that a definition should
not link to other definitions. There are several good reasons why we do not want
this. One is that we do not yet link to DefinedMeanings but to Expressions. As
to markup, some markup particularly the sub sup italic and bold are things that
may be usefull. They have to be (re)enabled for the definitions.. Thanks,

: We're working on a whitelist for some parser functions (or rather, a
mini-parser for WiktionaryZ). But, for the most part, we're going the relational
route as far as possible. We may have the ability to link to a disambiguated
term using a special syntax in the future.--[[User:Admin|Erik]] 00:10, 14 June

There are UNICODE code points for some of the subscript and superscript digits and letters. Whenever possible, these ones should be used. Since HTML markup is not universally available, expressions with HTML markup are of limited use.

I am leaning towards closing this as "wontfix". HTML markup should not be allowed inside relational data.

Purodha set Security to None.

Relational data including definitions and expressions can be used and exported to whatever outside environment where wiki tags or HTML can not be dealt with. They have to remain pure UNICODE even if that may be limitating sometimes.
