Hi,

"Interpret text formatting tags" is causing slash, backslash, 
vertical bar, slash to be rendered as backslash, slash.

Thank you.
Comment 1 peter_s_d 2003-11-30 05:58:31 UTC
Found another oddity.

In the following section of a news post the slashes either side of "root"
dissappeared and itallicised "root", but the slashes either side of "var" 
and "urpmi" did not dissapear, or cause "var" and "urpmi" to be itallicised.

<--quote-->
Create a file /root/.grpmi with 'noclearcache' on a line by itself and the
rpm's will not be deleted from the /var/cache/urpmi/rpm.
<--end quote-->
Comment 2 Volker Krause 2004-08-22 18:29:10 UTC
Regarding the original report:
'/\-/' is rendered to '\-' with italic font which is correct.

Regarding comment #1:
I would consider this the correct behaviour, the formatting is only applied if there are whitespaces or punctuation signs on both sides. This should be correct in most common situations, but since the parsing can only be done heuristically it can't be perfect in all situations.
