Nested abbreviations #9

Closed vibrog closed 12 years ago

vibrog commented 14 years ago

Defining abbreviations that are nested, e.g. BCD and A-BCD gives Maruku some trouble. ABC-D style abbreviations does not seem to cause trouble, though.

### About BCD and A-BCD

A-BCD

  *[BCD]: Bee Cee Dee definition
  *[A-BCD]: Another Bee Cee Dee definition

On Ruby 1.8.7 it produces:

<h3>About <abbr title='Bee Cee Dee definition'>BCD</abbr> and
<abbr title='Another Bee Cee Dee definition'>A-BCD</abbr></h3>

<p>A-<abbr title='Bee Cee Dee definition'>BCD</abbr></p>

Whereas on a Ruby 1.8.6 installation it produces a different result:

<h3>About <abbr title='Bee Cee Dee definition'>BCD</abbr> and
<abbr title='Another Bee Cee Dee definition'>A-</abbr></h3>

<p><abbr title='Another Bee Cee Dee definition'>A-</abbr></p>

Ruby 1.8.6 is pretty dead at this point, so I'm closing this.
