three backspaces for <nowiki> not working

[psd]

Looking at Formatter.js, three backspaces should be a shortcut for <nowiki>text not --wikified--</nowiki> but no amount of backspacing works for me.

If we migrate the Wikifier jsspec tests, we can add a test case for this issue.

Backspaces?

Triple quotes work fine for me:

"""text not --wikified--"""

Backspaces? Triple quotes work fine for me

I think perhaps Paul meant to write "backslashes"... a quick glance at the regexp for 'rawtext':

match: "\"{3}|<nowiki>",

shows how it could easily be mis-read as "three backslashes" rather than the actual "three quotes" syntax

If this is the case, then we should close this ticket as 'invalid'.

Ah, backslashes it was and my version shows:

match: "\\\"{3}|<nowiki>",

which, um, yeah I misread :"( thanks for clearing that up!

It seems the RegEx? there is unnecessarily complex - simplified in changeset:9794.
