Description

In this series of edits Parsoid exhibited strange behaviour:

to:

As far as I can tell, nothing that should make any difference at all happened between 1 and 2 (they were consecutive edits to the page.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to High.Nov 22 2014, 1:57 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz53468.

The real error here is the loss of line breaks in step #2. The nowiki-ing in Step #3 is expected. So, if #2 is fixed, this will be fine.

This does not seem to be a simple Parsoid issue:

echo -ne '{|\n|{{n/a}}\n|{{n/a}}\n|}' | node parse --wt2wt
{|

}

Maybe VE dropped the newlines in HTML?

This does actually seem to be a selser issue, probably in the separator handling:

in.txt:
{|

}

node parse < in.txt > out.html

cat out.html | sed s/a/b/ | node parse --oldtextfile in.txt --oldhtmlfile /tmp/.html --selser --html2wt
{|

{{n/a}}	{{n/a}}
}
