It used to ignore all punctuation (it didn't support backslash escapes, just ignored punctuation like Opera). Newer trunk builds however now don't ignore punctuation. (In reply to comment #7) > 2) The question of *why* Opera is handling the escapes properly isn't really > relevant; what counts is the observable behavior. The point is that Opera isn't handling the escapes at all. For example, if you put a backslash before the final quote, it doesn't continue the string. It still ends at the quote. For example, consider: http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/html/parsing/encoding/122.html http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/html/parsing/encoding/123.html EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: As far as I can tell, no browsers with more than 1% market share do anything with backslashes at all, and the browsers that ignored backslashes are actively moving towards what the spec says. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
