Text colour works in edit preview but not in saved post

+0
−0

I entered the following markdown into an answer I posted recently:

### ImageMagick
> <p style="color:red">An error occurred while installing rmagick (4.2.6), and Bundler cannot continue.</p>

I wasn't sure if the red colour would work, but I tried it to find out.

In the edit preview, it looked like this:

Preview text with red colour showing

However, after pressing save the rendered answer looked like this:

Rendered text after pressing save with no red colour showing

I don't mind whether Codidact posts support setting the colour of text or not, but it would be useful to have consistent behaviour between the preview and the saved post.

Is there a renderer that can serve both purposes? (2 comments)

Rather than fixing each discrepancy as they are raised, is there a way to use the same renderer for both the edit preview and the saved post?

If neither of the renderers used currently are suitable for both purposes, is there a third renderer available from somewhere that will be suitable for both?

They use the same renderer. In actuality, only the client renders the post, then sending it to the server. However, in addition to the client renderer, there is also an HTML scrubber for security purposes on the server side.

Honestly, the way we do post rendering and validation in general has a lot of issues, but it's what we're stuck with for now.
