The legacy Markdown-to-LaTeX parser handles indented fence markers inconsistently. In translated guides it can recognize an opening fence but render its closing pair as an inline backtick (or vice versa). The existing fallback then spans unrelated content, removing escaped property sigils and causing TeX errors such as Extra }, or forgotten $.

This change:

  • canonicalizes whitespace before fence markers while preserving blockquote depth;
  • keeps code content indentation unchanged;
  • defensively escapes unescaped dollar signs inside balanced \texttt{...} API labels;
  • adds regression tests for plain and blockquoted indented fences and API property labels.

Validation:

  • vendor/bin/codecept run unit — 9 tests, 9 assertions
  • php -l apidoc/PdfGuideRenderer.php
  • generated the Chinese guide TeX locally with no leftover malformed fence tokens
  • compiled that TeX using the production server toolchain: 537-page PDF, 4,859,432 bytes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved PDF guide formatting for fenced code blocks, including indented code and code inside blockquotes.
    • Fixed escaping of unescaped dollar signs in LaTeX API links and inline text while preserving existing escapes.
    • Improved LaTeX handling for table-cell code formatting and nested text content.
    • Preserved content inside \detokenize{...} blocks during LaTeX processing.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for code-block indentation, dollar-sign escaping, and inline code formatting in table cells.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PdfGuideRenderer now canonicalizes fenced-code indentation, including blockquotes, and escapes unescaped dollar signs inside balanced LaTeX \texttt blocks. Unit tests cover both normalization paths and table-cell conversion.

Changes

PDF guide normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Markdown fence normalization
apidoc/PdfGuideRenderer.php, tests/unit/PdfGuideRendererTest.php
Fence prefixes are normalized by blockquote depth. Blank-line insertion and closing-fence matching use the normalized prefix. Tests cover indented fences and blockquotes.
LaTeX text normalization
apidoc/PdfGuideRenderer.php, tests/unit/PdfGuideRendererTest.php
Table-cell conversion runs before later normalization. A final pass escapes unescaped dollar signs inside balanced nested \texttt blocks. Tests cover table-cell output and property sigils.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c0370

The renderer fixes indented fence handling but can still corrupt literal dollar signs in table cells, potentially causing malformed TeX or incorrect generated PDFs; this bounded correctness risk should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

144-153: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not escape dollar signs inside \detokenize arguments.

The final pass also rewrites table output such as \texttt{\detokenize{$property}}. \detokenize already renders $ literally. The rewrite produces \detokenize{\$property}, which renders an unwanted backslash in API table cells.

Exclude nested \detokenize{...} content from the dollar-sign pass. Add a regression case for a table cell that contains $property.

Pull request overview

This PR hardens the Markdown→LaTeX pipeline used for PDF guide generation by making fenced code blocks normalize consistently (especially with indentation and blockquotes) and by preventing malformed parsing from leaving unescaped $ characters that break TeX compilation.

Changes:

  • Canonicalize whitespace before fenced code markers in normalizeMarkdown() while preserving blockquote depth.
  • Extend normalizeLatex() with a balanced-brace \texttt{...} pass to escape unescaped dollar signs.
  • Add regression unit tests covering indented fences (plain + blockquoted) and API property labels.

Addressed the CodeRabbit review in c037077: generated \\texttt{\\detokenize{...}} table cells are excluded from dollar escaping, with a $property table-cell regression case.
