[Wikiwyg-dev] multi-line <pre> bug

[Dave Howorth <dhoworth@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk>]

There's a bug to do with multi-line PRE sections that's noted on the
wikiwyg bugs page on www.kwiki.org (which seems to be down right now).

I got annoyed enough with it to fix it on my system. I'm not a
Javascript wiz so there's probably much better ways to do it but here's
my patch:

 proto.handle_start_lines = function (element, markup) {
-    var text = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
+    var text;
+    if (element.nodeName.toLowerCase() == 'pre') {
+       text = element.innerHTML
+       text = text.replace(/<br\/?>/g, '\n');  // <br> becomes newline
+       text = text.replace(/<.*?>/g, '');      // discard other HTML
tags
+    }
+    else {
+       text = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
+    }
     if (!text) return;
     this.assert_blank_line();
     text = text.replace(/^/mg, markup[1]);


BTW, as far as I can tell, indented text doesn't work properly either.
Haven't looked at that.

Cheers, Dave
