Status: Closed 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.

archtoc.html and listinfo.html are templates (as implied by their being in the templates/xx directory :) which means Python substitutions are performed on the text. Python substitutions treat % as a special character so to get a literal % in the text you need to use %%

E.g. change that to "width=100%%" and you'll be fine.
