Summary 0000060: Display of numeric strings
Description I entered bug ID #58 yesterday containing a string consisting of the
characters
        <(> <i> <t> <e> <m> <space> <#> <6> <)>
in the Description field. When viewing that bug, the string is
displayed as the characters
        <(> <i> <t> <e> <m> <space> <0> <0> <0> <0> <0> <0> <6> <)>
with the digits displayed in blue and acting as a link to bug ID
number six.

While it is nice to have links when bug IDs are inserted in the text,
I was surprised to see the transformation when I was referring to an
item in a list. The original text is still in the bug (as can be
seen if you try to edit the field); it is just the way that Mantis
displays the string.
Desired Action Explain what strings trigger this reformatting by Mantis and if
there is any way when entering text to avoid the transformation.

Also specify which fields are affected by this transformation.
Tags No tags attached.

I now also see that Mantis translates a < followed by a lower case i
followed by a > as a request to shift to italic font.

Is there a way to disable HTML translations of input text?

1) turned off HTML altogether.

2) the "tags" that will expand to a bug ID number are now:

  'bugid:' (no quotes) with a number after the colon expands to a bug ID link
  'bugnote:' (no quotes) with a number following the colon expands to a particular note.
