Causes some page text with angle brackets to be hidden

[Hal Rottenberg]

I just found that when this extension is enabled, I was unable to view some text on certain webpages. I narrowed it down to a quick repro:

1. enable extension
2. visit http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/admin/Propsconf
3. search for "for a given".

The sentence near the search result should display (I've replaced angle brackets with square brackets): "This stanza enables properties for a given [spec].". What is happening is that the portion including [spec] is hidden, but only when this extension is enabled.

To validate that this is a display issue, and not server-side:

1. View source of same webpage
2. search for "for a given"
3. Note that the HTML source includes: "This stanza enables properties for a given <spec>."

Thanks for reporting this. Have you seen this on any other webpages? I see
the described behavior on the page you linked, but I'm unable to replicate
it on a test page.

It looks like there are some significant rewrites that I have to do in
order to get the plugin up to the latest API, so I'll have to work on that
before I can actually dive into the problem.

Best,
Jack

Hey. No, haven't seen anything like this on other websites. But I work for
Splunk, so couldn't afford to not be able to read our docs. :)

#15 seems to have fixed this. I suspect it was a bug in the jquery-replacetext library that the plugin uses. The pull request included an updated version.
