@spyked No problem, and my apologies that it happened in the first place. Hopefully when the rest of the tests are in place future snips will come with more confidence.

Thanks for pushing this, billymg!

The decision to call htmlspecialchars there seems pretty arbitrary to me, I don't know why the WP developers made that choice. In my own code I decided to do this right before the call to the_editor (in wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php), which admittedly, is also arbitrary, but at least it was relatively easy to spot by poking at the code.

Feels good to be live again (ty BingoBoingo)!

Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny too. I imagine there are many such cases throughout the codebase. Looking forward to being able to give this more of my attention in the next few months, I'm starting to get jealous of the fun that's being had over in #ossasepia.

Welcome back billymg.com!

Nice catch. Hopefully the future time spent writing about html will be ~0.

And lol re the comment for $richedit.
