Re: Proper nesting of HTML to be enforced

Additional problems thus far, found but not yet reported:

chatterbox faq dies. I'm currently looking into that, but nothing so far.
/me yadda foo bar. does not work. It seems to escape the first , then insert a missing at the end. I havn't looked into this yet, but suspect a gready/nongreedy problem.
A missing tag in a context where font or span is not allowed, combined with htmlerror=1 mode, will insert the font and span tags, then escape them. I havn't looked into this, and this will likely be unfixable, or at least, this requires a deep knowlage of the regex -- I'll leave it to tye.
 is used instead of . Noted here, but not fixed, because it requires changes to the .pm file, and "might as well" be batched with the other required changes.

chatterbox faq dies

Interesting. It appears that ($q->param('htmlnest'))[-1] is sometimes complaining of "Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference", which is strange since that code shouldn't be trying to do what it is complaining about not being able to do (but I don't see any other candidates for the complaint near line 205). I'll look at it some more.

Update: Fixed. The line number reported for the error was way off (probably because it was inside of a multi-line s{}{}gsex block).

/me [broken]

That is now fixed thanks to theorbtwo. Note that ;htmlerror=1 will show greyed s on the end of any /me chatter lines unless the author included their own . This is by design as otherwise you'd see a visible  if someone chats "/me reads The Times", whether htmlerror is enabled or not.

A missing tag in a context where font or span is not allowed, combined with htmlerror=1 mode, will insert the font and span tags, then escape them.

Uh, no, it won't. If you've seen this happen, then point it out to me. I could happen if content gets filtered twice, but I think that was only happening for chatter and the outer filter already allowed FONT and SPAN and I think you've removed that outer filter now (thanks), so I don't think this is a problem anywhere.

[use] 

Works for me. I'll change that the next time I touch the code.

Update: Fixed.

Thanks.
