Bug: Incorrect rendering of post

[pmonks]

This post is not being rendered correctly, as shown here:

Note: other clients I checked render it correctly.

@xurble Do you have an idea? It's probably not your change but just the current lib failing at converting the HTML. I saw that from time to time.

Looking at the thread, there's mention of zero width joining characters. I'll try and take a look this evening.

I'd actually like to take another crack at the markdown generation.

This has been happening before any of @xurble changes. ~Is there an issue rendering due to EmojiText?~ Perhaps not? Looking further, I see it is using markdown.

Here is one that I bookmarked a long time ago that has an issue displaying -> https://newsie.social/@jeff/109716493698039652

It renders like this:

FWIW the zero width joiners were breaking HTML2Markdown

Nice find!

Are there different kinds of zero width joiners? This screenshot show that my post is rendered correctly, there is a zwsp between "#tag" and "s"

[sothawo]

Addition: I enter it as a unicode character, not as an html entity

[xurble]

Can you post the url for the screenshotted post please?

Thank you

@EvilOne :

Well yours is fixed in the newer version, so that's good :)

[sothawo]

well, it didn't break the current version - and did not break previous ones, I use always use this when I have pluralized tags.

[xurble]

@sothawo Your working zero width is (hex) 80 8B The breaking one is E2 80 8D

I don't know why HTML2Markdown chokes on one but not the other.

This can be closed, it's fixed
