Description

If any line within a codeblock using a parser contains  \" , the parsed result will be an extra line containing a dollar sign  $ .

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new page.
2. Edit this to contain something like this:

{{{#!java
testvar = "\\" + servername + "\"
}}}

1. The result will be something like this:

   1 testvar = "\\" + servername + "\"

Example

A much more realistic example would be where I originally got the problem. I am using the visualbasic parser and got the example shown in this link:

URL: http://wiki.rollespill.no/code/moin.cgi/ParserBaseHandlingOfBackslashQuotationmarkExample

Look at line 43 in the codeblock.

Component selection

• As far as I can see (without any knowledge of Python) this is a parsing handling bug in _ParserBase.py

• Possibly in the class ParserBase, line 161.

  •  ENDL, ENDL_RE = u"\n$", ur"\n\$" 

Details

This wiki.

Workaround

I can see no real good workarounds.

Discussion

I don't see a $ sign in your example above. Please note that with 1.9 we use for syntax highlighting a new highlight parser based on pygments.

   1 testvar = "\\" + servername + "\"

Plan

• Priority:
• Assigned to:
• Status: either fixed (likely) or not our business any more (but pygments')
