Hi there,

Is there any way to parse a parameter for HTML tags? On a wiki I contribute to, we have an infobox that automatically surrounds a parameter value (let's call it ) with square brackets and categorizes it like so:.

However, we often use references in said value, and there doesn't seem to be a way to parse for the   tag, since tags are parsed before the MediaWiki parser functions.

Here is an example check:

Since the "<" of the ref tag has already been parsed, it doesn't show up in the parser and the link created is broken. Thanks, ~ironwestie (talk to me)(contribs) 17:25, June 24, 2017 (UTC)
