Category: Pipermail Group: 2.1 beta Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Joe R. Doupnik (jdoupnik) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: User supplied HTML with % kills index.ht
Initial Comment: Mailman 2.1b5. Edit archtoc.html or listinfo.html, include table with phrase width=100% and find that the list's archive overall index.html page is unformed (present but the various MM items are left as bare %(foobar)s style). After wasting a whole day on this the problem boils down to that percent sign in user-supplied HTML. It kills the high level index.html file. We don''t know about this until a full list archive operation is performed, because at the end the code creates the new index.html from the template files. Ugh. Likely some parser deep in the system is overreacting to the percent symbol. Needs fixing.

I did report this also long time ago. (2.1b1 orso) I did create nice tables but indeed the %(xxx)s showed up instead of the value.
I hope it will now be fixed! then i can create nice templates :)

width=100% is bad html. you should use width="100%", or better put this information on a CSS stylesheet.
unformed (present but the various MM items are left as bare %(foobar)s style).
this is bad too, but remember the GIGO rule...
