Topic on Project:Support desk

I am trying to format the html that this extension below is writing. But for some weird reason, the parser keeps removing the closing

tag even though the html does not have any bugs.

Is there a way to tell the parser to stop trying to sanitize the html output? It is rendering the html invalid. To me this looks like a bug.

MediaWiki 1.16.0 PHP 5.2.14 (cgi) MySQL 5.1.48

Here is the code: the closing

after the

at the end of the while statement is getting chopped off.
