Just a test with all variations of brackets, parentheses, and `&` forms: `[&#8203;] [&#8203;] [&#8203;] (&#8203;) (&#8203; +) (&#8203;)` [download] Preview shows exactly the same as shown in the `<code>` block above. Now let's see what happens when I post this. Update after posting: What I saw in Preview is exactly the same as I now see in the individual node, ~~the entire thread~~, Newest Nodes, and RAT. Update after looking more closely: Sorry, what I said in the last update about the "the entire thread" is incorrect. When I look at the whole thread, all the various `&` references are resolved; giving this title: `Re^3: What are the formatting rules for the "Title" of posts?

TEST `(& & <b>B</b> [lanx])` (& & B lanx)) update as we can see are entities and html-tags not escaped, if a title is displayed as reply in a thread: Like in the Re:^4 shown beneath this node as Re^4: What are the formatting rules for the "Title" of posts? (TEST & & B [lanx]) [id://11134082] by LanX on Jun 20, 2021 at 21:32 CEST But it should show: Re^4: What are the formatting rules for the "Title" of posts? (TEST & & <b>B</b> [lanx]) [id://11134082] by LanX on Jun 20, 2021 at 21:32 CEST Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]

I've committed a patch in node_info_string - (patch) Tho not sure it helps, the code is ridiculously complex and pmdevs have no possibility to test. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
Re^5: What are the formatting rules for the "Title" of posts? (FIXED) by LanX (Saint) on Jun 21, 2021 at 16:44 UTC
