Subject: Wiki (Textile) parses any XML element starting with "pre" as pre tag.

On the wiki, whenever I need to wrap a code sample in a "pre" tag and that code sample then includes an XML element starting with "pre", the wiki textile parser parses this as another "pre" tag. For instance, I have a bunch of XML documents including "prescription" elements and the only way to get formatting right is to replace "prescription" with an accented "prêscription", which is becoming a bit of a hassle.

Any idea on how to fix this?

    Can you give me an example block of code that doesn't work? I thought I'd fixed this issue, this renders correctly on my wiki:

    <pre>
<pre>
This is a pre block, [[links]] should not be processed here
</pre>
</pre>

    pre

    It seems it breaks if there are nested tags starting with pre as in this example:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  13
  
  1
  8

    Let's see if I can get the source displayed or if that breaks also:

    
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  13
  
  1
  8

    No updates at the moment, I've been fighting with the regexp to little success, it seems matching up tags in a regexp is not a simple matter...

    Why regexp and not parsing?

    Right now we pull the pre blocks out with a regexp before creating the links to other wiki pages, then we inject the pre blocks back in and run the whole shebang through textile. If you've got a nice way to convert [[page name]] into a proper link while avoiding applying it to pre, code and notextile blocks.... I'm all ears!
