  LPS-12731	Preformatted content is incorrect on a wiki page
  LPS-18562	Creole Preformatted Tags still render link tags
  LPS-15612	Preformatted not working for Wiki in Creole using source
  LPS-18846	Add Scrollbar to Preformatted Text in wiki
  LPS-9091	Add URL Title for Wiki Pages

When adding the following preformated text

{{

{ http://cnn.com }

}}

you would expect the output to be

http://cnn.com

but instead it is

http://cnn.com

This is an even bigger issue when copying and pasting code that contains URLs

This may be related to LPS-12731

The symptoms are similar, but the issue is not related with LPS-12731. It looks like this may be an issue with the JSP Wiki Engine and not necessarily Liferay. I'll need to do more tests to confirm this, but if I'm right, it may take a while to come up with a fix for this. Ideally we'd hope JSP Wiki would resolve this.

LPS-14287 might be similar to this one, but worse because the brackets are in the wrong position.

I have tested this on JSPWiki v2.8.3 and it is okay - see attachment. (Liferay 6.0.5 uses jspwiki.jar v2.8.3)

[James Falkner]

So sounds like if plain JSPWiki 2.8.3 works but Liferay+JSPWiki 2.8.3 does not, the bug is in Liferay?

Oh, BTW, this issue is being addressed as part of the 100 PaperCuts program. Please see http://liferay.com/community/100-papercuts

I found where the bug comes from but I do not have sources so I needed to use decompiler. I'll let you know about further details.

[Milan Jaroš]

I modified org.wikiwizard.jspwiki.filters.CreoleToJSPWikiTranslator which comes from CreoleFilter-1.0.7.jar. Unfortunately I can't find sources anywhere so I modified de-compiled class. Modification is described in source file on line 165.

To fix problem you should delete tomcat-6.0.18\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\creolefilter.jar and move CreoleFilter-1.0.7-modified.jar here.

Hi Milan, Even though we're not going to use the modified jar, we appreciate your work as it highlighted the source of the issue. Creolefilter.jar hasn't been updated since 2008, and the source files aren't accessible, so we're going to use the JSPWiki implementation, since it's still being updated and the source code is readily available. Thanks again for your contributions!

[Milan Jaroš]

Don't mention it. So is this problem resolved? Or could I help somehow?

[Douglas Wong]

Yes, this issue is resolved and the fix should be included in the next CE release. The core of the fix is basically changing the liferay CreoleFilter class to extend com.ecyrd.jspwiki.filters.CreoleFilter instead of org.wikiwizard.jspwiki.filters.CreoleFilter.

Thanks Milan Jaroš, I just use your jar file to fix this issue. Works like a charm...
