Weird characters in SQL code tags

[CVMichael]

See this post:

The first line is:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_GetNumbers](@Str NVARCHAR(MAX))

But it shows in the code windows as:
CREATE FUNCTION & # 9 1 ; dbo].[fn_GetNumbers](@Str NVARCHAR(MAX))
(Without the spaces)

It seems to translate correctly when out of the SQL code tags...

Because the square brackets are used to designate special-formatting areas, I would assume that square brackets inside such an area would be translated to their html entity equivalent. There seems to be something in the formatting algo which removes the & from the & # 9 1 ;

The same issue (with the C# formatting, but it is the same tool doing the work) was discussed within the last day: here

Maybe we need a sticky listing the highlight tool bugs...

I should have searched.... sorry about that...

The parsing algorithm should look for complete tags, not just the opening bracket... Because SQL usually has the square brackets in the code...

It's nothing to do with the parsing. It's just a typo in an array structure in the plugin code which wraps the parse engine.

As I posted in the thread linked above, when I get free time these issues will all be fixed.
