I took the opportunity to recreate the database in UTF-8 this time, and somehow the capitalization problem seems to have gone away. It could’ve been the encoding, or perhaps just cruft that accumulated in my years-old WP database… but I’m not complaining 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Markdown on Save Improved] Capitalization within angled brackets in code blocks are lost](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/capitalization-within-angled-brackets-in-code-blocks-are-lost/) * Thread Starter [Needle0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/needle0/) * (@needle0) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/capitalization-within-angled-brackets-in-code-blocks-are-lost/#post-4575321) * I experimented some more. Experiencing some truly bizarre stuff. * A) On my main blog, I kept disabling plugins one by one, until MoSI was the only plugin left enabled. I pasted, previewed and re-saved the post with the markdown source every time, and the post rendered incorrectly every time. * B) I installed a new WordPress instance on my local Mac and tried the same markdown source with MoSI. The brackets rendered correctly! I then kept adding plugins to the installation to match my main blog’s plugin setup. I again pasted, previewed and re-saved the post every time, and the post rendered correctly every time. * About the only other thing I can think of is that the MySQL database encoding for my main blog is set to EUC-JP instead of UTF-8. (I can’t immediately experiment with this one since my webhost only allows one database.) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Markdown on Save Improved] Capitalization within angled brackets in code blocks are lost](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/capitalization-within-angled-brackets-in-code-blocks-are-lost/) * Thread Starter [Needle0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/needle0/) * (@needle0) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/capitalization-within-angled-brackets-in-code-blocks-are-lost/#post-4575294) * I use plain WordPress, not multisite. I made a test page: [http://www.heistak.com/mosi-test/](http://www.heistak.com/mosi-test/) * What I originally typed into as Markdown looked like this: [http://pastebin.com/WQu9z2gy](http://pastebin.com/WQu9z2gy) * The rendered HTML looks like this: [http://pastebin.com/tXmbXVf6](http://pastebin.com/tXmbXVf6) * Finally, when I go back to the post editor, the Markdown source has changed into this: [http://pastebin.com/i8qeyQy8](http://pastebin.com/i8qeyQy8) * FYI, I also tried pasting the same Markdown source into a WordPress.com hosted blog. This one behaves slightly differently, removing the angled-brackets section entirely.

I use the three tilde syntax (~ ~~) to open and close the code blocks. Thanks. Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total)
