This question [^] was in the "1 QA needs attention" List as it would have been spam. I have let it through because it has no spam (bad question of course, but no spam). What I don't understand... the question (now in v2 by me), the comments and the answers are from 2015... how did it land in the spam filter?

I think it got sent there as the OP tried to update it.

Shouldn't my "approval" be v3 instead of v2?

It shows pending although I let it through. In the question itself I appear as editor and the v2 as index.

Am I really so affected by blank nights (recent father) that I am missing everything? I start to think on not posting anything else for a while D'Oh! | :doh:

Your update is v4 (klick the "show minor revisions" button)
Why it says v2 instead of v4 in the question is beyond me though.

Congrats by the way! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

That is what confused me and why the "publicy available" stuck in v2, instead of coming to mine.

It would be better to have a small button to mark the notification as read directly from hover popup on red notification indicator.

Explaining a minor improvement in an article I found something a bit weird, not sure if it is designed to do that but...

writing

<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Following are the commands to install dotnet from the article in the link above for Ubuntu 16.04:

    sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet-release/ xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'
</blockquote>

gives:

But writing:

which messes with the format of the rest of the message.
By the way... I didn't add the < pre > < /pre > tags of the second "writing" withing the quote (i see them in the preview but not in my own message input box)
This is the paste with encoded HTML for that bit of text:
<pre lang="text"><blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Following are the commands to install dotnet from the article in the link above for Ubuntu 16.04:

Note the missing opening "pre" before the command. That comes alone when indenting the line a bit with empty spaces.

I have used the same clipboard for the 4 first pastes, only used encode-html option and additionally the code widget with language text or the paste as is option

In case 2 you closed the tags out of order, having: <blockquote>...<pre>...</blockquote>...</pre>
instead of
<blockquote>...<pre>...</pre></blockquote>

You don't get it... I didn't do anything
It comes automatically

Copy the content of the first snippet and do it yourself, one time as it is the second one just delete the carriage return before </blockquote>

You are protector, just click "edit" my message and see the content carefully. I didn't write the "pre's" I just selected the "snippet" and used the widget to give "language text" but the two "pre's" envolving the bash command are not in my message, they appear on their own

Still not sure what you did. Iposted all the 'raw' text, and accepted as Quoted block. Then selected the bash script and select code - text, and got the result below, which is correct.

And that is the point... you are modifying the "raw" text

Please click on "edit" my first message, and pay attention to what I wrote, don't do any correction, just copy my full message, paste it in notepad and see the differences between that and what gets posted in the forum

Sorry, but whatever I post from your original message gives me the same two results. But in this case I don't get the <pre> tags. I assume I must still be missing something from your original message.

Have you done what I am saying?

Click "edit" in my original message, select all text, copy and paste in notepad and then compare my text with my output.

I have checked the content of your message and I can't understand where the difference is.

The message I wrote starting all this is:
Deploy ASP DotNet Core Web Applications on Ubuntu Linux (AWS EC2) behind Apache Server - Minor Improvement[^]

try to edit there and delete the carriage return before the end tag of blockquote...

I'm not sure I fully understand what you're doing here. You wrote:

messes things up.

It *should* mess things up because you have your closing PRE and BLOCKQUOTE tags around the wrong way, meaning the ending BLOCKQUOTE will be HTML encoded, so the starting tag won't be closed.

I think I need more info.

As I said to Richard...

Just edit my message and pay attention what I wrote versus what is the result

or even better... copy my very first snippet

<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Following are the commands to install dotnet from the article in the link above for Ubuntu 16.04:

    sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet-release/ xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'
</blockquote>

and do it yourself...
first time paste just as it is (logically without encoding the HTML tags)
second time paste it and then delete the carriage return before the closing tag < /blockquote > bringing it to the previous line behind "dotnetdev.list'"

Could you have a look to the screenshots?

I am still curious if I was really doing something wrong or it is repeatable.

Screenshots here[^]

1) Message in the article OK
2) Message in the article messed
3) My original post here part 2 (part 1 is the one working fine, so I just deleted it for the screenshot, afterwards I aborted the edition)
4) My original post here part 3

To reproduce it you have to paste my snippet with the option "Use Markdown formatting" active

I suppose it is connected to the automatic snippet format (markdown) when using the indention. It takes the ending /blockquote as part of the code and then there is no "official" closing tag for the quote. Putting the tag in other line or deleting the 4 empty spaces before the bash command solves it.

But still... I find weird, that the editor brings additional "pre" tags without closing them on its own. See pic 3

The problem is you have the "Use Markdown formatting" checked.

Markdown and HTML just make life horrible. There are a hundred markdown interpreters. none of them do what you think they should. So I've started writing my own and then just got depressed about it all.

So...sorry. Them's the breaks with Markdown. It's a savage untamed beast.
