Engineering notes

  1. Verify that this isn't just a testwiki problem and that this would occur on other projects
  2. If there's a plaintext alternative, use that instead of trying to apply the formatting and parse the wikitext
  3. If there's not a plaintext alternative, circle back and discuss options in eng sync

Event Timeline

bug/T217186 has a WIP for this - probably too invasive for 6.2.1, putting in blocked or waiting for now

There was no plain text alternative - would need to parse wikitext to HTML using the api then parse out the HTML or make an attributed string
