The body of comments that are just text within angle brackets do not render (lemmy.world)

12 comments fedilink hide all child comments

In this example, some commenters are joking around and placing angle brackets (less than, greater than) around their comment's text. As a result, the comment text does not display.

It does display in a web browser or Voyager. Raccoon also does not render the comments, though strangely it does render that last comment in the chain. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the comment includes an apostrophe and comma, unlike the others.

Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for mentioning this. As others have mentioned, it would be great if you could make a new bug report on GitHub for this issue! It makes it easier to track and ensures that it doesn’t get lost/forgotten.

This is a bit technical, but as for why this may be happening, it seems like it might be trying to parse an HTML tag when rendering to text. HTML tags usually use < and /> to indicate the tags, which seems to be similar to the cases you’ve pointed out.
