[Jtidy-user] Unexpected or incorrect <pre> handling in <table>

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,

I found that jtidy has some unexpected handling of <pre> within <table>.

For example, the following table codes are rendered properly in both  
IE and firefox, although it is probably not right to use <pre> this way.

<table>
   <tr>
     <pre>
       <td>Hello</td>
     </pre>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <pre>
       <td>1</td>
     </pre>
   </tr>
</table>

However, I would not expect jtidy would actually extract <pre> and its  
contents outside the <table>! The following is jtidy's output and its  
warnings.

Is this a known issue? Is there any option in jtidy or workaround that  
handles this HTML table properly? Thank you.

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>
       &lt;td&gt;Hello&lt;/td&gt;

</pre>

<pre>
       &lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt;

</pre>

<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
