atrol 2018-07-24 05:59 developer ~0060311	zringele, I was not able to reproduce your problem with a fresh install of the latest stable MantisBT release (2.15.0 at the moment). If you are running an older version, I recommend that you upgrade to the latest (download from [1]). If after doing so the problem persists, do not hesitate to reopen the issue and provide detailed step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue; the following additional information may also be useful: Exact version of MantisBT, PHP, Database, Web server, Browser and Operating System Relevant customizations (e.g. changes in config_inc.php, etc) Installed plugins or custom functions ? Was the MantisBT source code modified in any way ? [1] http://mantisbt.org/download.php

atrol 2018-07-24 15:06 developer ~0060313	The PR that fixes 0024241 fixes also this issue.

batman magumbo 2021-11-09 08:30 reporter ~0066000	This is still an issue on brand new installations of Mantis as of November 2021. There's a plugin called Imatic Mantis Formatting that's supposed to fix the issue, but it's meant to replace the native Mantis formatting plugin, and it requires PHP 7.4 and Composer. I was running PHP 7.1 so I wrote a simpler plugin that just run alongside the native one and patches the problem. Here: OT Mantis Markdown Fixer. Hope that helps someone.

Dave_59 2022-04-01 03:11 reporter ~0066402	This is really sad that we can't display formatted code in a bug tracking system. `printf("hello world");`

avr 2023-04-28 19:16 reporter ~0067715	I switched to mantishub hosting and this issue - code blocks converting quotes and other things to HTML entities - is still persisting. Since I'm not self hosting I can't install the "OT Mantis Markdown Fixer" referenced above. Does anyone have suggestions or new workarounds for this in a hosted situation? Thank you.
