    It would appear that in some situations _span_ HTML tags are being handled incorrectly by the wiki system when included in the text of a page. Specifically, when followed by a line break they are enclosed in _p_ tags, with the closing _p_ tag at the first line break within the _span_, which implicitly closes _span_ tag and breaks formatting. This seems to be the result of the wiki system parsing the _span_ tags as regular text, rather than HTML code. For reference, this error does not occur when the _div_ tag is used instead.



    A span followed by a line break like so:




    This text will be in Arial font.




    Produces the following brokenness when parsed:





    This text will be in Arial font.







    Where as the _div_ version:




    This text will be in Arial font.




    Produces correctly formed code when parsed:




    This text will be in Arial font.







    It's even more fun if the text is tab indented:




    This text will be in Arial font.




    Which gets automatic _pre_ tags for being tidy:





    This text will be in Arial font.







    Where as again the _div_ version:




    This text will be in Arial font.




    Produces the more expected result:




    This text will be in Arial font.

    ChainsawXIV,

    Thanks for letting us know. Are you using the WYSIWYG editor or the Textitle Editor?

    I'll attempt to duplicate it on my end and see if we can come up with a fix.

    Thanks again for the report.

    Ryan

    Thanks Ryan. This was with the Textile editor - I haven't played with the WYSIWYG editor at all.
