Details
This bug came in from an internal developer. Not sure if we already
filed this.
M11 Composer did bad things to comments: it appears to get confused by quotes
and angle
brackets and converts them to html entities. For example, on the page I sent you
the header
looked like this in the original:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
but after editing the page and saving it with composer, it looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
It also inserted an extra <style> tag with no closing </style>:
orig:
<style>A {text-decoration:none;}</style>
</head>
post 5.0 edit:
<style>A {text-decoration:none;}
</style>
<style>
</head>
It munged the comments like so:
orig:
<!-- start left column here -->
post 5.0 edit:
<!-- start left column here -->
All of this made the document unrenderable so I'd say this was DOGFOOD material.
