For a long time, I have seen code corrupted in Q&A questions. I just discovered how it happen with a typo while writing a solution. Input is :
anyone wanna help me out?
bold
anyone bold
anyone
and Preview is :anyone wanna help me out?

anyoneLooks like the <something is recognized as a beginning of tag.
Text is polluted until a end of tag, or just cut if no tag after.Patrice

Interesting, and good sleuthing. We really should just switch to Markdown and be done with it.

When articles include code with tabs, tabs are 4 spaces while published. But article editor (at least in source mode) are 8 spaces for a tab. And same with Q&A editor.
