Problem with code/quote BBCodes in lists

[Thyme Lawn]

If a list item starts with a multiple line code or quote BBCode directive it isn't handled correctly. The special formatting is only applied to the first line, with all subsequent lines being formatted with just the list item indent. In addition, when you do a post preview everything after the first broken line appears outside the preview box, giving the impression that the post has been truncated.

I did some more tests (replies in the forum thread).

I think it would need quite a rewrite of the bbcode conversion code to fix this...

Fixed typo in title.

Unfortunately there's no simple way (afaik) to solve the problem of matching this with regex without using either recursion or a pushdown automaton. Think about nested lists of lists and the confusion this would give...

We can instead blame the BBCode people for making a badly designed standard without end-tags for list items and ignore the problem entirely since </li> is also optional in HTML 4.01 transitional.

BTW, say "Fixes #662" in the commit message to make Trac automatically close the ticket (it seems to allow six different spellings and even multiple ticket numbers separated by "and", but not the word "ticket" in the middle).

ticket_prefix = '(?:#|(?:ticket|issue|bug)[: ]?)'

Seems you are right, pretty much the only syntax which isn't allowed is "ticket #xxx".

Hm.. or perhaps it's because I used capital "T"?
