Not sure, but could it be that tidy at latest would escape that ampersand?
This has nothing to do with Wikitext, but just plain HTML -- a sole
ampersand is not valid in HTML.
2012/6/29 Daniel Barrett <danb(a)vistaprint.com>om>:
In a parser tag callback, if I change this:
function myCallback($input, $argv, $parser) {
return '&';
}
to this:
function myCallback($input, $argv, $parser) {
return array('&', 'markerType' => 'nowiki');
}
shouldn't the second one cause a plain ampersand to be rendered, rather than
& ?

This is MediaWiki 1.18.1.
Thanks,

Subject: RE: StripState and ampersands?
How can I prevent this conversion so ampersands
(and presumably other special characters) are preserved?
Followup up my own question: StripState is not relevant here. It's the fact that
it's a parser tag extension. Simply returning "&" in the callback will
produce "&". Is there a way to suppress this conversion when returning
"&" from a parser tag extension?
