MediaWiki reader chokes on quotes inside <tt> elements

[ktk]

For MediaWiki to Markdown conversion there seems to be a problem with quotes.

I have in MediaWiki:

* Same but bzip2 it and nice it <tt>zfs send tank/storage/data/svn@daily-2014-03-20_00.00.00--2w | nice -15 bzip2 | ssh [email protected] "> /storage/c-3po/tank-storage-data-svn.dmp.bz2"</tt>

When I convert that to Markdown I get:

-   Same but bzip2 it and nice it `zfs send tank/storage/data/svn@daily-2014-03-20_00.00.00--2w | nice -15 bzip2 | ssh [email protected] `“`>`` ``/storage/c-3po/tank-storage-data-svn.dmp.bz2`”

At one point it seems to get confused by the double-quote in there and breaks the command.

A more minimal example is:

echo '<tt>">"</tt>' | pandoc -f mediawiki -t native
[Para [Quoted DoubleQuote [Code ("",[],[]) ">"]]]

Somehow the <tt> code tags don't take precedence over the quotes as they should, expected output:

[Para [Code ("",[],[]) "\">\""]]

I'm inclined to close this. Formatting is supposed to be interpreted inside <tt>. We can't literally include a DoubleQuoted in a <tt>, so this is the best we can do. Of course, this doesn't match MediaWiki's own interpretation, but that's because MediaWiki doesn't have smart punctuation by default.

I would just suggest that we change the default extensions on the MediaWiki reader so that smart punctuation is not enabled.

Actually, I'll also fix it so that, even with smart enabled, double quotes aren't transformed inside tt elements.

tnx @jgm will check that out in the next release
