If the content has been added with the "elog" command as HTML then it can contain mismatching HTML tags, can't it?
I don't see how this could be avoided by ELOG, unless you want to do a full HTML syntax check of all new and modified entries.


It works also with entries submitted by the "elog" command. The reason is that for the OUTPUT, all "<" characters are transformed into &gt;, which "inactivates" any HTML code, no matter where it came from.


Now I'm confused: if I create an entry with "elog -n 2 ...", then I put HTML code into elog and it is displayed as HTML. This HTML code does NOT convert a "<" into "&lt;", otherwise you could not display any HTML.
But of course this code can be wrongly formatted, for example it can contain a </table> tag without a <table> tag before it. This will definitely spoil the display in ELOG, and that was what I was refering to.
I agree that html tags in plain text entries will not have this problem.
