01438: interlaced styles (bigger text, color) get confused regarding the span of each

Description: Tested this at the pmwiki.org sandbox

This is some %red% normally sized text that likes to be red.

[+++This is some very big text+++] as you can see.

[+++This is %red% some very big text+++] that likes to be red.

On the last line, the +++] style change terminates the color but not the size. Art Cabral? March 10, 2019, at 10:20 PM

This is what I see for the HTML source for the relevant output

</p>
<p class='vspace'>This is some <span style='color: red;'> normally sized text that likes to be red.</span>
</p>
<p class='vspace'><span style='font-size:173%'>This is some very big text</span> as you can see.
</p>
<p class='vspace'><span style='font-size:173%'>This is <span style='color: red;'> some very big text</span> that likes to be red.</span>
</p>

PmWiki is producing what you request, but the browsers cannot interpret correctly unbalanced closing tags <big>...<red>...</big>...</red> and show what they assume you meant. You need to have <big>...<red>...</red></big><red>...</red> for the browser to parse it correctly, in that case use closing %% wikistyle like this:

[+++This is %red% some very big text%%+++] %red%that likes to be red.%%\\
or\\
[+++This is +++]%red% [+++some very big text+++] that likes to be red.%%

This way the browser will know which part you meant to be big and which red. --Petko March 11, 2019, at 09:06 AM
