Bug 513647

Created attachment 187842 [details]
A Duplicate Of `bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220181#c5`

# SUMMARY

Please provide markup syntax for KDE Bugzilla.

# STEPS TO REPRODUCE / RATIONALE

When authoring a bug report, many authors frequently reference inline code, short (block) sections of logs, diffs, and code; and they quote documentation.

Although some basic use cases can be bypassed with solely UTF characters, like the keycap character in replacement for `<kbd>`, and the tabular for multi-paragraph lists, the aforementioned use cases are impossible to fulfill without a layer of abstraction.

You may believe that this would require Mozilla's Bugzilla customisations (Harmony). However, it doesn't, as my comment at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220181#c5 demonstrates.

# OBSERVED RESULT

I am able to write `blockquote`s and `pre`s, but because these are combined, even this isn't semantic for a screen reader, and means that quotations must be manually truncated, lest they render off the display. This doesn't work when reading on a smartphone, nor when quoting code.

# EXPECTED RESULT

I should be able to write in a markup language that supports more than merely Bugzilla's conflation of HTML5's `blockquote` and `pre`.

Another example exists, from another user – where I first observed that hashes before headings were acceptable – but I haven't been able to locate it since.
