Hello,
currently the Interchange parser strips HTML comments wrapping Interchange
tags.
Example:
<!--[data session browser]-->
shows as
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; X11; Linux i686) Opera 7.54 [en]
We assume that only a few users know about this arcane
"feature", which in the current implementation might have unwanted
side effects, as Jonathan Clark recently found:
[tmp stuff]horse[/tmp]
this works:[if scratch stuff eq horse]<[/if]
this works:[if scratch stuff eq horse]<![/if]
this doesnt work:[if scratch stuff eq horse]<!--[/if]
this doesnt work:[if scratch stuff eq horse]-->[/if]
We want to decide the fate of this "feature". In the case that
people want to rely on it in the future, it will be switched
off unless a certain pragma is used.
Otherwise it will be removed in Interchange 5.4.
Thanks for any comments
Racke
