Description

Author: finlay_mediazilla_23c9

Description:
The following wikitext

{| style="background:green"

}

breaks the wikitext html parser. All subsequent wikitext isn't shown, and the
generated html doesn't close the table markup properly; so that "green"
background bleeds into the page elements following the rendered wikitext (nasty
on classic skin, very nasty on monobook).

Note: I tested this on en.wikipedia.org and meta.wikimedia.org and it happens on
both. It >doesn't< happen on my home 1.4.2 installation (which handles it
perfectly well). The wikimedia servers run PHP 4.3.11, I run PHP 5.0.4
(apache2handler), so I guess it's a difference in the PHP libraries.

The  confuses tidy, not MediaWiki.

Closed bug as this has to be fixed by tidy team.
