Description

If you want something both underlined and italic, the underlining will not end as it should...

Steps to reproduce

So far I have not been able to reproduce the problem with an isolated example, but it has happened to me on at least two occasions... Basically, when trying to make a word both underlined and italic, the the first underline markup is ignored, but the secord one, which should end the underlining, actually begins it.

Example

Currently the problem is occurring on the MoinMoinQuestions page (assuming nobody tried to fix it).

Here should be another sample of this problem. Why doesn't it happen here?

Component selection

Must be in the default formatter, but it may be related to very long pages or the fact the MoinMoinQuestions includes subpages?

Details

This is the HTML generated, so it does not appear to be a browser problem.

so many hits that it's </span><em>impossible</em><span class="u"> to tell

Workaround

If you run into it, it appears that you can use an extra __ before the word you want underlined to end the phantom underline mode, and then continue with the usual markup.

Discussion

Bad formatting understood. HOWEVER... something ended the underlining from the traceback, but the formatter still thought it was in effect. Seems like these should be kept in synch.

Plan

• Priority:
• Assigned to:
• Status: no bug, but wrong page content: someone just didn't use { { { } } } to enclose a python traceback and that contained some _ _ also.
