fixMarkup useBR: true removes HTML tag if it starts at index 0 of string · Issue #2529 · highlightjs/highlight.js (original) (raw)

fixMarkup and highlightBlock methods with {useBR: true} break markup.

I noticed, that hljs.highlight(...) generates the following code:

"<span class="hljs-symbol">[Created By]</span>"

Then fixMarkup for this string generates the following:

"[Created By]</span>"

Just comment configure method call and you'll see the difference (console output provided as well)

I believe it should not break markup this way.
