Description

When entering #!/bin/bash into a code block, MoinMoin does not show the line in the HTML view.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new page (or edit the SandBox)

2. Create a new code block containing a sample bash script (for example)
3. Save and view the page
4. The hashbang line is not rendered in the HTML

I expect to see the #!/bin/bash

Example

This isn't showing the #!/bin/bash line.

echo foobar

Nor does this show the #!/usr/bin/env python line.

def foo:
    bar

This does as the formatter doesn't think that this is a formatting line.

-
#!/bin/bash
echo foobar

Workaround

Add something else on the line preceeding #!/bin/bash

Or apply this HORRIBLE patch (against 1.6.3):

Discussion

The parser successfully negotiates that the content type should be 'text', but the formatter removes the line if it begins with '#!'. Since many wiki's probably are used for code snippets, these lines are probably missing.

It doesn't seem to affect the version of MoinMoin running at http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de though... (1.5.9)

if your stuff begins with #! and you want to see that as content (or it is not meant as parser format spec for moin), you have to add another #! line specifying the parser you want to use:

{{{
#!python
#!/usr/bin/env python
def foo:
    bar
}}}

Renders as:

   1 #!/usr/bin/env python
   2 def foo:
   3     bar
