Section Edit fails on non-BBCode headings

When using "=" signs for headings, section edit comes up blank

Issue:

Per the summary, the section editor comes up blank if you're using the '=' sign to denote headings.

Workaround:

Change all of the articles in your wiki from '=' based markup to [H] based markup. The problem is that the section editor used to work with these kinds of headers.

Discussion:

The Media Wiki header markup are infintitely more readable than the BBCode header markup, especially for long wiki articles. And nearly all of my pages use this format because of that reason. With the upgrade to 3.0.2, that markup is still honoured by the parsing engine, but the section editor now breaks completely on those tags.

In vault/functions/postbit.php, find:

Code:

$htmlRegEx = '|(?:^|\v)(?:[ |\t]*)(={1,6})[^\s=]+\3';

Replace with:

Code:

$htmlRegEx = '|(?:^|\r|\n|\v)\s*(={1,7})[^\r\n\v=]+\3';

Keep in mind that you still will not be able to edit sections that contain an = as part of the heading itself. This includes if it contains a BB-Code with an option code. Example:

Code:

== Heading with a [size="2"]Size 2[/size] Word ==

Until the section parser is rewritten, this limitation will prevent the heading from being indentified as follows:

Code:

= Heading with a [size

Thanks. However, I would go the other way and say that compound markup in headings is really bad form. Headings serve the purpose of providing referential meta data as well as a standard look-and-feel of the document. Adding things like italics and sizes into a heading violates unified document style ethos of a wiki.

But then, that's just me.
