/kbin currently has an issue with code blocks federated from Lemmy.

someCode {

}

When federating the above Lemmy code block, Lemmy appears to add additional <span> tags for syntax highlighting to the federated block. This is legal by HTML's specification, but kbin doesn't currently handle it correctly and just displays the tags in plain text, hurting the readability of code blocks.

As such, the above code block displays on kbin like this:

<span style="color=#323232">someCode {
</span><span style="color=#323232">
</span><span style="color=#323232">}
</span>

This userscript strips out those extra tags, reproducing the first code block instead.


This is a standalone release of the fix which is also included in KES (Kbin Enhancement Suite).

Please report issues and suggestions there.
