18549	wp_texturize incorrectly curls closing quotes after inline HTML end tags	justincwatt		"The following source HTML:
{{{
The word is ""<a href=""http://example.com/"">quoted</a>"".
The word is '<a href=""http://example.com/"">quoted</a>'
The word is '<a href=""http://example.com/"">quoted.</a>'
The word is '<a href=""http://example.com/"">quoted</a>'.
The word is '<a href=""http://example.com/"">quot</a>'d
}}}

Gets incorrectly transformed by wp_texturize() as:
{{{
The word is &#8220;<a href=""http://example.com/"">quoted</a>&#8220;.
The word is &#8216;<a href=""http://example.com/"">quoted</a>&#8216;
The word is &#8216;<a href=""http://example.com/"">quoted.</a>&#8216;
The word is &#8216;<a href=""http://example.com/"">quoted</a>&#8216;.
The word is &#8216;<a href=""http://example.com/"">quot</a>&#8216;d
}}}
'''Note:''' all the double/single quotes in the above examples that should be closing are instead opening)

This renders in the browser like this:
{{{
The word is “quoted“.
The word is ‘quoted‘
The word is ‘quoted.‘
The word is ‘quoted‘.
The word is ‘quot‘d
}}}

The problem here is that wp_texturize splits the text on all start/end tags, which makes sense for block-level tags, but not inline-tags like {{{<em>}}} and {{{<a href="""">}}}.

formatting.php line 67:
{{{
$textarr = preg_split('/(<.*>|\[.*\])/Us', $text, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
}}}

However if you change it to only split the content on block-level tags, you'll need something more sophisticated/complex than a regular expression to avoid curling quotes within html."	defect (bug)	new	normal	Awaiting Review	Formatting	3.2.1	normal			Ammaletu
