Unescaping SF Issues

jlstevens edited this page Sep 20, 2012 · 1 revision

Around 500 tracker items have been exported from the Topographica project on Sourceforge to Issues. Most of these items have been successfully migrated and are clearly readable. Some items that include diffs, tracebacks or other code may require some manual correction. As all characters used by Markdown have been escaped, code blocks or verbatim environments cannot be used directly.

The solution is to access the exported XML directly (if this opens in your browser, make sure to view the raw source) and search the issue number. This number may be found at the top of each GitHub issue item (eg. Converted from SourceForge issue 3420579). You can then copy and past the unescaped text into the verbatim or code environment as required.
