Prism throws strange lines of code

[mallakas]

I apology for the vague title, but I have a strange behavior when I right some python code, after I type some code in my blog (powered by Ghost and NodeJs) I see these lines that of course I didn't typed.

• */ ",

I have to add also that this happens after a line that has an email inside, any help will be much appreciated.

@mallakas I had the same issue too, it seems that prism doesn't like the @ sign, I managed to fix this by replacing the @ sign with this special HTML character @. Test it and see if it works for you.

Could you link to an online testcase? Is it reproducible in the test drive page? Which language definition is this about?

[mallakas]

@Gexos , thank you your solution fixed my issue, it doesn't throw these lines anymore.
@LeaVerou , in the test drive page it works fine, the language I use is Python, on my Ghost blog which is powered by Nodejs I tried the standard markdown code and highlight.js and it worked fine, I believe is not a Ghost issue, here is an online testcase http://codepen.io/anon/pen/cFykp, it works fine there too, I can not understand why it happens only in me.

Thank you

Have you tried opening an issue with Ghost?

[mallakas]

Well I post it there, but I answered my self with the solution @Gexos provided above. But I will open a new one in the bug section. I will let you know if I have a solution from there.

Thank you @LeaVerou

Hi all, I think I figured out the issue to this problem. I believe this is being caused by Cloudflare's email protection. We had the same problem recently and I couldn't figure out why the exact same code didn't cause the same results on my local system. Looking at the source code, I noticed that a __cf_email__ class was being applied to the email address, which tipped me off, since we recently switched to Cloudflare for our DNS.

You can disable the e-mail address obfuscation in the Cloudflare control panel under "Security Settings".

Hope that helps!

Ha! Nicely done @reinink.

@philsturgeon Thanks ;)

Just an update for anyone else who arrives here, I've successfully disabled email address obfuscation in Cloudflare, and then forced a cache refresh, and now things are good. See this doc for more information on purging the cache.

well done @reinink , I'm using cloudflare too and I disabled email address obfuscation, and the code works fine, of course I do need the obfuscation too, so if cloudflare don't mess with anything else, I will just use the html code trick. I will post this solution at the Ghost forum also, since I opened an issue there.

Thank you!

Brilliant @reinink , I feel bad now that I almost "blamed" Prism. :)

Great news, that you were able to resolve the issue.

@mallakas everything is working for you now? Can we close this issue?

[LeaVerou]

Closing, see #425
