I think this is a dup but I can't find the original.

You're probably getting annoyed by now, so this is the last thing I'll say for a
bit.
M11 Composer did bad things to comments: it appears to get confused by quotes
and angle brackets and converts them to html entities.
For example, on the page I sent you the header looked like this in the original:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
but after editing the page and saving it with composer, it looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
It also inserted an extra <style> tag with no closing </style>:
orig:
<style>A {text-decoration:none;}</style>
</head>
post 5.0 edit:
<style>A {text-decoration:none;}
</style>
<style>
</head>
It munged the comments like so:
orig:
<!-- start left column here -->
post 5.0 edit:
<!-- start left column here -->
All of this made the document unrenderable so I'd say this was DOGFOOD material.
Hope this helps!
Rick

Entity conversion is all screwed up. I've been waiting on an entity converter
from another group (see bug 8865) for quite a while, but it's looking like I'm
going to have to hack in a workaround in the meantime, since output is fairly
unusable with things like double quotes getting mapped to entity codes.

nhotta just checked in the API for 8865; I'll be working on plugging into that
shortly, and with any luck it'll cure the entity problems.

Can you please put a sample file which causes this behavior in the URL field to
this bug? I've seen things like this, too, in the past, but I can't seem to
reproduce any of these problems today with any of the test files I've made.

Marking this fixed; I think recently fixes to the output sinks have fixed it.
Reopen if you're still seeing it, with instructions on how to reproduce.
Adding relliot to the cc list since I just noticed he wasn't on it even though
he was the reporter.
Bulk move of all "Output" component bugs to new "DOM to Test Conversion"
component. Output will be deleted as a component.
