Description

In the source of a wiki page (current or prior version) double quote marks appear as a single character "

However, when viewing the same source in version compare mode, those same double quote marks are shown as the html & quot ; (spaces added to prevent any translation)

Look at the source line beginning __Spouse1:__ in the attached screen shots.

TRP-Compare-v4-5 used the following url http://thereevesproject.org/data/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=Heard_Robert_Brookes_2236&history_offset=0&diff_style=sidediff&show_all_versions=y&compare=Compare&newver=5&oldver=4&paginate=on&history_pagesize=25&source=5

TRP-Compare-v4-0 came from http://thereevesproject.org/data/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=Heard_Robert_Brookes_2236&history_offset=0&diff_style=sidediff&show_all_versions=y&compare=Compare&newver=0&oldver=4&paginate=on&history_pagesize=25&source=0

Sorry, but these pages will not be accessible as our site isn't available at that level of permission to non members, but I thought I should include them to point at the problematic screens.

NB All the changes to this page now being viewed were made several months ago using v4.3

Perhaps related to existing item HTML line break tags displayed in page source histories http://dev.tiki.org/item3883, which are evident if the source of other than the current version is displayed and compared.

But note the line break tags are not displayed in the source comparison part of the screen where the & quot is found.

These inconsistencies are confusing, but not show stoppers in our upgrade to 6.7

Update--

This issue is obviously wider than the instance I've described above. We now have an example of & quot ; (without the spaces) appearing on a rendered page - look at child 5 Elizabeth on page http://thereevesproject.org/data/tiki-index.php?page=Reeves_William_3054 which is publicly visible. The source of that page clearly shows double quote marks not html as follows ...

Copy to clipboard
__Probable children of William Reeves and Anne Terrill__: #((Reeves_Sylvia_3219|Sylvia Reeves)), b. 1792, m. Allan Burton before 1810 #((Reeves_Jennie_3218|Jennie Reeves)), b. c1794, m. Rev. Hardin Burton on 6 Dec 1815 #((Reeves_John_3282|John Reeves)), b. c1796 #((Reeves_Obedience_3217|Obedience Reeves)), b. c1796, m. William Buchanan Burton on 25 Oct 1814 #((Reeves_Elizabeth_3287|Elizabeth "Betsy" Reeves)), b. c1801, m. John Barton on 16 Apr 1822 in Grayson VA #((Reeves_Anne_3299|Anne Reeves)), b. c1803, m. Terrell Cox #((Reeves_Terrill_3283|Terrell Reeves)), b. c1807 #((Reeves_Lenoir_3284|Lenoir Reeves)), b. 1808 #((Reeves_Albert_3302|Albert Reeves)), b. c1813 #((Reeves_Gaston_3286|Gaston Reeves)), b. c1814 #((Reeves_William_3285|William Reeves)), b. c1818 #((Reeves_Timothy_3303|Timothy Reeves)), b. 1821 #Unknown Female born after 1820


Let me know if this is a discrete issue and whether I should raise a separate ticket for it.

Thx

Martin

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
