Status: **FReportedEAKING FIXED ON PHILOMENA!**.
 
Scope: Cosmetic issue in how -~~strike-~~ is parsed in posts and comments.
 
Summary: Hyphens when used to create arrows (ex: [==-\>==] as happens in the aliasing threads) results in -~~strike-~~ if there is another hyphen later in the string from the attempted arrow to the second hyphen.


 
Use Case: In the artist aliasing thread the boilerplate for requesting aliases is X -> Y. We could change, but this has been the standard for long enough that it is undesirable to change.


 
Example raw text:
[bq][==  

> alias:from -\> alias:to - this should be aliased.==][/bq]
Expected result (from Derpi On Rails):
 

> ![bqfull]!(https://i.imgur.com/jGtkBoa.png![/bq])
Instead Philomena renders it as:
 

> ![bqfull]!(https://i.imgur.com/RTA8ac8.png![/bq]
)
 
This is cosmetic, and doesn't prevent any work on aliasing, but using the X -> Y format is the standard for the thread so it would be preferable to not change.
