Weird markup renders wrong on trac.edgewall.org and crashes trac v0.10.4

[nathan.collins@…]

If I put

x:"<x" Don't see this

Do see this.

on the trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SandBox and hit preview it renders as

x:"

Do see this.

If I put

x:"<x"

on my v0.10.4 trac on ubuntu 8.04 and hit preview I get "Trac detected an internal error:" in an otherwise empty red box, and the stack trace

Python Traceback

My weird string x:"<x" is the most simplified form I could come up with of some text that was causing the above error on my trav v0.10.4.

Looks indeed serious.

Fixed in r7205 for 0.11, r7207 for 0.10.5 and r7211 for 0.12.

I set the milestone of this ticket to 0.10.5, as one can then assume that it's fixed in later versions.

Again, many thanks for reporting this issue!
