Bug: markdown inside tweets is not escaped

Open twoscomplement opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Consider https://twitter.com/twoscomplement/status/1580380783767756801 - note the text __VA_ARGS__

The tweet body text is copied verbatim by parser.py, resulting in VA_ARGS when the markdown is rendered image

I haven't actually tried it yet, but here's at least a hint to start with:
This could probably be solved by using something similar to this example (@lenaschimmel did a quick research and found this) somewhere inside the convert_tweet method.
