Code blocks from Lemmy get mangled here on Kbin (kbin.social)

For example see this comment:

There are so many <span> tags inserted into the code block that it has become completely unreadable.

Is this a known problem?

I think Lemmy is correct here and the Mozilla docs only refer to the text content, not elements. It also mentions that < and > still have to be escaped to be displayed.

The HTML spec https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-pre-element defines that the element contains „phrasing content“ which <span> is part of.

It even explicitly mentions nesting <code> inside <pre>.

You're right, I only read the beginning of article, the Mozilla docs also mention the phrasing content later on the same page.

Guess it's really on kbin then to fix this.
