Bug with source code that contains "Embed"

    Hi,

    I am writing a technical article on my blog.
    This blog contains source code snippets. The following snippet results in wrong display.

    [code language="xml"]
<instructions>
	<Embed-Dependency>*;scope=compile|runtime;inline=true</Embed-Dependency>
	<Embed-Transitive>true</Embed-Transitive>
</instructions>
[/code]

    All the opening XML markups that start with Embed- are removed from the resulting page. Only…

    *;scope=compile|runtime;inline=true</Embed-Dependency>

    … and…

    true</Embed-Transitive>

    … are present on the page after saving.

    Is it me or does it look like a bug?
    I have not seen anything in the documentation about forbidden mark-ups.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi vzurczak,

    I’ve tried posting your code snippet on my blog as well, and it seems like the Embed tags are indeed removed from the code block.

    I’ve tagged this topic for a Staff follow-up. They will be able to investigate further and file a bug report if necessary.

    Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond, and please be patient while waiting.

    Hi there,

    I took a look and I’m not entirely sure what is going on here. We do not allow most embeds on WordPress.com, so it’s possible that our filters are removing the embed code because of that, despite its placement inside of the code shortcode, or it could be a bug.

    I have put this in front of some of our developers and as soon as I have some additional information I will let you know!
