HTML markup isn't automatically ended #13

Closed osswix closed 8 years ago

osswix commented 8 years ago

If you for example use <b> in one of the word entry fields it bolds everything underneath too (including other word entries), maybe implement something that automatically closes HTML tags.

This actually brings up a completely different issue. The fact that you can use HTML markup is a mistake—it should only allow Markdown, so I'll work on making sure only Markdown works, not HTML.

Unfortunately that means that you'll need to re-do any HTML styling you did, but it'll actually prevent this kind of problem because the Markdown won't render at all if you miss an ending.

I've uploaded a patch that prevents HTML manually written in dictionaries from rendering. Only Markdown should be used in Lexiconga entries.

This will prevent HTML tags being incomplete because Markdown will only render if it is entered correctly.

pretty sad as i liked using html.

Yeah, sorry about that, but it's necessary for security. Fortunately, Markdown is really easy to use and learn, and it actually does the same things HTML does a lot faster than typing out HTML.
