Decoding HTML (or ELCode which translates to HTML) in the summary field is difficult, since the text is
truncated.
Assume you have some code like
Text
<b>Text
<i>Text
----- cut here
</i>
</b>
Sot he bold <b> and italics <i> tags are opened, but closed after the cutting line. In that case the whole page
might render wrongly, because everything after the summary text will be displayed in bold and italics. To fix this I
would have to scan the HTML code and close all open tags "by hand". But since there are very many possibilities,
especially if one used multi-column tables, this is almost impossible without writing my own HTML parser which is
beyond the scope of elog. So the only clean solution I have found so far is to strip off all HTML formatting and
just showing plain text there. |
