Cynicism aside Rob, I appreciate the reply.
Did a bit more digging, and found this 'bug' in bugzilla: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1772 Seems like it's been around awhile. I updated the version, added a note, and voted for it.
For the time being I can work around it by limiting the text I insert between my tags (no newlines). However, I'd like to publish my extension, and I'm unlikely to do so if I have to have the caveat of: 'you have to format the tagged content just-so...'.
Don't know if my previous global flag or callable method ideas have much merit ( or are feasible to integrate into the parser structure ). But, it'd be nice if a developer latched on to them... :)
Btw, the Graph::Easy extension (returing HTML) also runs into this. Even when you add no emoty lines and leading spaces, mediawiki seems to insert a paragraph every N lines or so. This of course creates wierd empty spaces in the generated table :(
In the end I stripped *ever* \n from the output and now return a gigantous long line.
A way to switch this off from my extension would be great, because the emitted HTML becomes impossible to debug or inspect.
Best wishes,
Tels
