The text replacement in the code blocks should not be happening.

It is a tough one, @tgxworld and I in the past had a system that attempted the change and then recooked to confirm only the right pieced get touched.

I think we probably should wait a bit longer here on @renato till we have more reliable reverse html → markdown mapping. Even just being able to consistently map to line vs char would be a help here.

I thought @david was across this code at some point as well.

Clearly nothing urgent here, it is a massive edge case.

Also, the job ran again after I edited it and undid the fix, so it only made changes in code blocks this time, not outside:

That happened to me today too. And while searching for this topic, I also found this one:

Perhaps this should be moved there.
