Description: Headingmode definition buggy output. The html is wrong for the output, some tags are transformed in html special chars.
Extension / Version: DPL   /   1.5.0
Type / Status: Bug   /   open

Problem

To reproduce: 

<DPL>
category=African Union member states
ordermethod=category,title
headingmode=definition
</DPL>

Reply

Thanks for bringing this up. Adding "debug=5" shows the html code: 

{{Extension DPL}}<DL><DT>[[:Category:African_Union_member_states|African Union member states]]</DT><DD><UL><LI>[[Cameroon|Cameroon]]</LI><LI>[[Nigeria|Nigeria]]</LI><LI>[[Somalia|Somalia]]</LI><LI>[[Sudan|Sudan]]</LI></UL></DD></DL>

To me this seems to be syntactically correct. Experimenting a little showed the following: 

<DL><DT>a term</DT><DD>its definition</DD></DL>

produces:

a term
its definition

whereas 

<DL><DT>a term<DD>its definition</DL>

produces:

a term
its definition

So it seems that I would have to produce syntactically incorrect html code to get it through the wiki parser. Very strange. Would you like to bring that up for mediawiki developers?

As an alternative I could generate wiki syntax 

;[[:Nigunda]]:its definition

This should also work:

Nigunda
its definition
